Description: | Signed: yes Description: Eighteenth-century French artists, such as Boucher and Watteau had popularised light-hearted, flirtatious images of the young woman on a swing. Bisson picks up on the theme here as the young woman sits on a high vine swing pushed by two flying putti and looking back over her shoulder at the unseen viewer. Bisson was born in Paris and studied under Gerome. He exhibited at the Paris Salon between 1881 and 1939. Many of his pictures show romanticised, idealized images of women as passive, supine creatures. This subject was repeated several times by Bisson, and each time the support for the vine is not shown, giving the subject an ethereal quality. | Subjects: | figure (girl on swing) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bisson, Edouard (French painter, born 1856, active 1904) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8874... | Go to resource |
