    Extractions: Jpg: CGFA James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) would prove to be the most important American Artist to that time and would have a profound impact on the course of European and modern art. His colorful personality along with his very unique style would place him at the center of a whole storm of controversies. He was the first to declare Art for Art Sake, and to make the point, he would refuse to give conventional titles to his paintings calling them "Symphonies in White", "Nocturne blue and Gold", "A little Note in Yellow", etc.. His intent was to force the public to view his paintings for the art of canvas and paint instead of what it may have represented in life. Of course, all he managed to do was create these outrageously long titles since his oblique designations to subject matter proved to be totally useless for any kind of reference. Although his most well known work is of his mother (which he only ever called "

    Extractions: Museum purchase, 958-0-152 Since the time of its first owner, New Yorker Edward Holbrook, The Thames from Battersea Reach has been attributed to James Abbott McNeill Whistler. The painting shows the embankment at Battersea Reach overlooking the Thames from Whistler's neighborhood in Chelsea, with the factory smokestacks and church steeple of Cremorne visible on the opposite shore, and interprets these much as Whistler did around 1863-64, with predominantly gray coloring and swift, thin brushwork. In recent years, it has been suggested that the painting is a document of Whistler's friendship with Walter Greaves, and partially or wholly Greaves's work. When Andrew McLaren Young examined the painting around 1971, he felt that the embankment and figure in the foreground, and the docked boats in the middle distance did not ring true to Whistler, conjecturing that it might instead be the work of Whistler's former pupil, Walter Greaves (1846-1930), an attribution in which Young's co-author, Margaret MacDonald, concurred. A technical examination of the painting revealed that the boats, embankment, and figure were all made with the same paint, and that the inscription at the lower left, "Whistler1863," which is not in Whistler's handwriting, was applied at the same time as the surrounding passages of paint.

He is perhaps best known for his nearly black-and-white full-length portrait of his mother, titled Arrangement in Gray and Black, No. 1 , but usually referred to as Whistler's Mother . Though American, Whistler lived and worked mainly in Britain and France. His painting The White Girl (1862) caused controversy when exhibited in London and, later, at the Salon des Refusés in Paris. The painting epitomised Whistler's theory that art should essentially be concerned with the beautiful arrangement of colors in harmony, not with the accurate portrayal of the natural world, as recommended by the critic John Ruskin . In 1878 Whistler sued Ruskin for libel after the critic condemned his painting Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket , calling the artist a "coxcomb". Whistler won a farthing in nominal damages. The cost of the case bankrupted him.

Born in Lowell (Massachusetts, USA), Whistler was brought up in Russia (1843-8), where he studied art in St. Petersburg, before spending time in London (England). His mother was a MacNeill, descended from a chief of the clan and a Jacobite, who had emigrated from Skye to North Carolina in 1746. After his father's death in 1849 the family returned to America and Whistler joined the US Military Academy at West Point, but was expelled in 1854. He briefly joined the Coast and Geodetic Survey who training him in etching. In 1855, he travelled to Europe once more to study art and was never to return to the USA. He attended classes in Paris and settled in London, but travelled widely in England and Continental Europe. Although Whistler visited Scotland only once, in 1888 he married Beatrice, daughter of Scottish sculptor John Birnie Philip. A prolific painter, Whistler's work includes At the Piano Wapping (1861), his well-known Arrangement in Grey and Black: Portrait of the Painter's Mother (1871) which inspired Thomas Carlyle to pose for Arrangement in Grey and Black, No. 2: Portrait of Thomas Carlyle

Following an unsuccessful career at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Whistler worked for the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey where he strengthened his skills in the graphic arts, particularly in the medium of engraving. In 1855 he moved to Europe to pursue an artistic career. He settled permanently in London in 1859, traveling frequently to Paris to visit friends and keep abreast of developments in French art. Whistler associated himself with that circle of artists espousing the avant-garde theories of the realists. Through Henri Fantin-Latour he met such artists as Gustave Courbet, Édouard Manet, and Edgar Degas. After Whistler exhibited his painting The White Girl (1862) in the famous Salon des Refusés of 1863 (which coincidentally featured Manet's controversial Le déjeuner sur l'herbe ), critics and artists alike began to take notice of his work. This painting, later given the additional title Symphony in White No. 1

    Extractions: Home James Abbott McNeill Whistler "Whistler was the son of a railway engineer, born in Lowell, Massachusetts, but throughout his life he pretended to be a Southern gentleman. He was, in most imaginable ways, self-invented. Like West "Whistler was accepted by Paris as no American painter before him had been. As a young man, he worked with Gustave Courbet . He enjoyed the respect of Šdouard Manet and Edgar Degas , though the latter sometimes gave him the sharp edge of his tongue - "Visslair, you behave as though you had no talent." He appears (with Baudelaire, Manet, and other luminaries) in Fantin-Latour's group portrait of the rising art stars of 1864, Homage to Delacroix . "This American is a great artist," said Camille Pissarro , "and the only one of whom America can be justly proud." And Marcel Proust would turn part of his name, unpronounceable by the French, into an anagram: he became the painter Elstir in A la recherche A temps perdu "Valparaiso was as close as Whistler ever got to the Orient, but he was seen in France and England as a cultural bridge to Japan. He was obsessed by the formal beauty of Oriental art, especially Japanese prints (which were available by the ream in Paris and London) and Chinese blue-and-white porcelain, of which he amassed a choice collection. Through the study of Japanese concision, he brought an esthetic of hints and nuances into late-nineteenth-century painting. His abhorrence of narrative, his refusal to moralize through art, his preference for the exquisitely designed moment over the slice of life: these were new, and they epitomized the ideal of Art for Art's Sake. It was provocative, in 1871, to call a portrait of his mother

    Extractions: James Abbott McNeill Whistler was an American painter and etcher, who assimilated Japanese art styles, made technical innovations, and championed modern art. Many regard him as preeminent among etchers. Whistler was born on July 10, 1834, in Lowell, Massachusetts. He entered the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1851, did not do well in his studies, and left in 1854 to take a job as a draftsman with the U.S. Coast Survey. One year later he left the United States and went to Paris, where he became a pupil of the Swiss classicist painter Charles Gabriel Gleyre. Formal instruction influenced him less, however, than his acquaintance with the French realist painter Gustave Courbet, other leading contemporary artists, and his own study of the great masters and of Japanese styles. The French set, 1858:
