Artists Series: James McNeill Whistler

English

By (author): James Finch

An indispensable introduction to the life and work of James McNeill Whistler, whose atmospheric paintings and aesthetic theories cemented his international reputation as one of the most influential artists of the modern age. 

James McNeill Whistler (18341903) was an irrepressible force in nineteenth-century art, who swept aside convention and innovated in all aspects of his art and life. Both a combative public figure and the creator of paintings and prints of serene beauty, Whistler was relentless in pursuing his artistic ideals. His name has become synonymous with a certain type of landscape mysterious, atmospheric and evocative.

This book is a concise introduction to Whistlers life and work. It charts the development of his career from his realist scenes of modern life in Paris and London, to his enigmatic portraits and final accomplishments as a printmaker. Bringing together a selection of exquisite paintings, arresting portraits, and works on paper from across the artist's career, it highlights the distinctive attention to composition and display that became central to his artistic identity. Emphasising the key events of Whistlers life, including his many travels and well-publicised disputes with friends and critics alike, it celebrates a unique artist whose vision and principles defied the conventions of his time.
