Tags: james tissot, young lady in a boat, is interesting to me, how when I previously blogged about this painting, several years ago, I was less sensitive to certain misogynistic elements, in the source materials' descriptions of kelly/newton, and her life and relationship with tissot, b/c I read my earlier writing now, and I think dude, I get that you think you're being sympathetic to her plight, but by using that particular language, without commentary or correction, you kind of reveal that you have a ways to go, and by you I mean me, and by then I mean now.
