	James McNeill Whistler
		James McNeill Whistler, the painter of that most American of works--the very icon of American motherhood--"Arrangement in Grey and Black" (better known, of course, as "Whistler's Mother"), ironically left the United States at the age of twenty-one, never to return.
		Although a contemporary of the Impressionists, Whistler walked his own path from the Realism of Courbet to an aesthetic approach of "Art for Art's Sake." As one of the first westerners to be influenced by the artistic tradition of Japan, Whistler developed an aesthetic response to living.
		Whistler directed the model to hang her arms listlessly and maintain an expressionless face to ensure the exclusion of narrative.

	Victorian Art in Britain - Whistler Obituary
		James Abbott MacNeill Whistler was American by birth, and French by artistic training and sympathy; and French American he remained to the end, in spite of his long residence in London.
		His father was Major George Washington Whistler, an engineer, and his mother a lady of the Baltimore family of Winane-this southern strain of blood helping to explain the extraordinary unlikeness of the most volatile of painters to the staid and serious stock of puritan New England.
		Whistler left it for him and received a cheque for 30 guineas, with which he was well-satisfied.

		James MacNeill Whistler, an aesthetic dandy in the European art scene, was regarded as one of the most important printmakers since Rembrandt.
		Whistler regarded his brother-in-law as an amateur when compared to his own talent and Whistler’s acerbic personality caused the eventual deterioration of their relationship.
		Whistler had a more checkered career as his paintings were rarely appreciated and his prints had varying amounts of success.

		James Abbott McNeill Whistler was born in Lowell, Massachusetts, a fact of which he did not care to be reminded.
		Whistler painted it to emphasize the patterns evoked by its large, flat area, an idea inspired by Japanese prints.
		Whistler's works aroused the antagonism of the critic John Ruskin, and the artist's sharp-tongued reply to that gentleman's remarks ended in a famous lawsuit from which Whistler emerged a technical victor.

		The title of this picture indicates that Whistler's main purpose was to capture the effect of twilight through harmonies of colour.
		Whistler's picture almost certainly records the beginning of their withdrawal, on the evening of 30 March.
		The critic writing for the Athenaeum commented on the way in which Whistler had given 'an aspect of sleepy motion to the vessels, and…conveyed to the spectator the rolling, seemingly breathing, surface of the sea with a power that is magical' ('The Winter Exhibition at the French Gallery', Athenaeum No.2045, 5 January 1867, pp.22-3).

	Whistler Backcomb -- Recommendations and Resources (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Whistler Blackcomb, the largest ski area in North America, has a skiiable area of 8,171 acres (33 km²), over 50% larger than that of Vail, the runner-up, with 5,289 acres (21 km²).
		By some reports, Whistler Blackcomb is the largest ski area in the world, but because of the practice of many European ski resorts (the largest are in France, Austria, and Switzerland) of measuring total trail length rather than total area, a definitive answer isn't currently available.
		Whistler would eventually pawn the painting, which was acquired in 1891 by Paris' Musée du Luxembourg.

		It was Whistler who insisted that printmakers should print their own plates and popularized the addition of “imp” to an artist’s pencil signature on a proof, indicating that the artist had printed it himself.
		It was Whistler who, seeking to overturn the artist’s aversion to lithography when it had become the medium of mass printing (including beer advertising), began to severely limit editions and printings of his lithographs to a few as six impressions.
		And perhaps from sheer perversity, it was Whistler who, when he found collectors buying prints on the basis of the width of the margins, cut off the margins of his own etchings.

		James Ford was an American civic leader and business owner in southern Illinois at the turn of the 19th century.

		I was inspired to name him this because James is a biblical name and means "held by the heel" and this James really is held by his heel because he won't try to grow up yet he acts too dull and mature and won't see past his nose.

		His father was Major George Washington Whistler, an engineer, and his mother a lady of the Baltimore family of Winane - this southern strain of blood helping to explain the extraordinary unlikeness of the most volatile of painters to the staid and serious stock of puritan New England.
		At that date it was that Whistler began to etch; the earliest of the 268 etchings that Mr Wedmore has catalogued so carefully belongs to that year.
		He lived there for several years, and one of the oddest episodes in the history of modern art is to be found in his comradeship, almost friendship, with Rossetti.

		In reading Oscar Wilde’s "Impression du Matin," I was at first interested in the descriptive use of colors in the first stanza: "The Thames nocturne of blue and gold,/ Changed to a harmony in gray;/ A barge with ocher-colored hay/ Dropped from the wharf..."(Abrams 1747).
		Any basic biography of Wilde notes that he had had a very publicized (platonic) love/hate relationship with James A. MacNeill Whistler, brought on by Wilde’s appreciation of Whistler’s work (Ellmann 59).
		Whistler had done a series of nighttime scenes (called "Nocturnes"), one of which was entitled Nocturne in the Blue and Gold: Old Battersea Bridge, and another painting called Harmony in Gray, images used in the first and second lines.

		In the context of the fl and white opening, there is humor in the fact that the figure commonly known as Whistler's mother is the "softwarm" lap, for the actual title of Whistler's work is Arrangement in grey and fl no.1, and the subtitle is The Artist's Mother.
		Whistler's intention was not so much to represent his mother, but to explore the formal qualities of the two dimensional plane, an exploration that is key to the later Cubist painters.
		It is thus ironic that the picture has become such an icon of motherhood, but Pilkey uses both the cultural and the artistic elements of the work: the maternal connects with the comfort the cat finds and the artistic is consistent with the visual representation of the cat's awake life.

		Also known as "Art for Art's Sake", Aestheticism proscribed narrative subject matter and argued that beauty of form, color and composition were the sole ends of art.
		His signature images of classically draped female figures, inspired by his study of the Elgin Marbles and often incorporating elements of Japanese design, would have a profound influence on James MacNeill Whistler, who considered Moore the most original artist of his generation.
		The title of our picture alludes to the racket used in badminton, a game of ancient origin, yet the true "subject" of Moore's painting is its exquisite technical assurance, its delicious array of linear patterning, and its seductive color harmonies.

	Artist Biography - Rehs Galleries, Inc.
		Pearce’s interest in Orientalism and the exotic directed his attention towards the current rage of Japonisme, the love of everything Japanese that was spearheaded by shops such as Siegfried Bing’s on the Rue Chauchat, Madame Desoye’s La Porte Chinoise, and publications such as Le Japon Artistique.
		More and more artists, such as Edouard Manet, James MacNeill Whistler, and Edgar Degas, began collecting “oriental” objects and challenging their use of spatial effects in order to simulate a kind of “japanesque” painting, replete with Japanese kimonos, fans, and porcelain in an often Europeanized setting.
		Femme à l’Éventail (Lady with a Fan) of 1883 is an appropriate example of Pearce’s integration of oriental objects, showing a European woman dressed in her kimono, holding a Japanese fan.

		Taught initially by his father, who also counted James Abbott MacNeill Whistler among his pupils, Weir received conventional academic training first at the National Academy of Design, then at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and with the great French academician Jean Leon Gerume.
		With his contemporaries John Henry Twatchman and Childe Hassam, Weir founded the Ten American Painters (or the Ten) in 1898, a leading group of American artists who are characteristically referred to as American Impressionists, although their connection sprang more from friendship and a desire for exhibition reform than to stylistic similarities.
		Thanks to a wide array of influences, ranging from Gerume and Bastien-Lepage to Whistler, John Singer Sargent, Japanese prints, and his American colleagues Twatchman, Hassam, and Albert Pinkham Ryder, Weir's oeuvre cannot be said to belong to any one school or movement.
