		In this latest show, the Freer has selected a radiant collection of the artist's paintings in order to follow his evolution in style from 1860 to 1900.
		They also embrace the ideal of "art for art's sake." John Ruskin (1819-1900), one of the most influential art critics ever, detested the nocturnes' impressionistic quality, and quipped that Whistler was "flinging a pot of paint in the public's face." Whistler sued Ruskin for libel and won.

	Society of Biblical Literature
		Among the many thousands of precious objects housed in the Freer Gallery of Art are six biblical manuscripts that comprise the most significant collection of such items in the Americas, rivalled in age and significance only by the well-known holdings in major centers in Europe, and now also in Israel.
		The impetus for the Freer exhibition, the volume of studies, and this year's location of the Annual Meeting lies in a conversation with Bruce Prior, who visited Edinburgh in the summer of 1999 and reminded me that 2006 would be the centenary year of Freer's purchase of the initial four manuscripts.
		In July 2000, I visited the Freer Gallery and held discussions with the administration and key staff, urging them to hold an exhibit featuring the biblical manuscripts; this proposal also was readily accepted.

	Exhibition: Pretty Women: Freer and the Ideal of Feminine Beauty
		The founder of the Freer Gallery of Art, Charles Lang Freer (1854–1919), is best known as a pioneering western collector of Asian art, but when Freer started to buy art he began with contemporary American paintings and works on paper.
		Most of the major works that Freer acquired during his first 12 years as a collector, 1884–1896, were images of beautiful women by James McNeill Whistler (1834–1903), Thomas Wilmer Dewing (1851–1938), or Abbott Handerson Thayer (1849–1921).
		A lifelong bachelor, Freer was a product of his time, in which upper and middle class women were expected to carry primary responsibility for the education and training for the young, and were generally idealized as being, by nature, more nurturing, more spiritually alive, and more aesthetically sensitive than men.
