谁和Kathleen Newton约会过?

Kathleen Newton

Kathleen Newton

Kathleen Irene Ashburnham Newton (née Kelly; 1854–1882) was an Irish-British model, best known for her many sittings with the French artist James Tissot. Her artistic relationship with Tissot quickly turned into a romantic one, and the two lived together, representing themselves as a married couple, for the rest of her life, which was cut short by tuberculosis. She modeled for Tissot constantly throughout their time together, and Tissot's biographers remembered her as his muse.

Although Tissot's contemporary audience understood his relationship with Newton, biography published during his lifetime did not mention her, and magazine coverage of his work only discussed her obliquely. Tissot referred to her by pseudonyms like la mystérieuse (the mysterious) and la belle irlandaise (the Irish beauty) in the titles of his paintings. His biographers started including her in his story soon after he died in 1902, referring to her by a nickname, Kitty, that he had used. Her full identity entered the historical record in 1954, when her niece Lilian Hervey answered a journalist's plea for information about her.

James Tissot

詹姆斯·约瑟夫·蒂索(法語:James Joseph Tissot法語發音:[dʒɛms ʒozɛf tiso];1836年10月15日—1902年8月8日),法国画家。他早年的作品题材以历史人物为主,但到了1864年,他改变了作品题材,开始描绘当时的人物,尤其是时尚女性,获得了巨大成功。

他年轻时就决定从事艺术事业,将现实主义、早期印象派和学院艺术的元素融入到他的作品中。 他最出名的是在其职业生涯巅峰期间创作的各种当代欧洲上流社会的风俗画,这些画重点关注美好时代和维多利亚时代英国的人物和女性时尚,但也探索了许多中世纪、圣经和日本风格,这些贯穿了他一生的主题。 他的职业生涯包括以 Coïdé 为笔名在《名利场》担任漫画家。

1871年,巴黎爆发起义,蒂索也参与其中。政府镇压起义后,他被迫流亡英国。在那里他作为一名艺术家取得了进一步的成功,并结识了爱尔兰女子凯瑟琳·牛顿(Kathleen Newton)。蒂索在當地繪畫亦了躊躇滿志。他最终在1882年离开英国,返回法国。

1894年,蒂索被授予法国荣誉军团勋章。 蒂索一生中的大部分时间都与印象派运动保持着密切的关系,其中包括詹姆斯·阿伯特·惠斯勒(James Abbott Whistler)以及导师埃德加·德加(Edgar Degas)。
