	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.
		Whistler directed the model to hang her arms listlessly and maintain an expressionless face to ensure the exclusion of narrative.
		Whistler's debt to Japanese art, specifically Hiroshige, is apparent in the almost abstract span of the bridge.

		James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) was an American painter and etcher.
		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.
		Whistler's belief that art should concentrate on the arrangement of colors has led many critics to see his work as a precursor of abstract art.

		Whistler's own revenge was to decorate the south wall with a design of two squabbling peacocks, one rich and the other poor, somewhat in the manner of an Edo period Japanese screen.

		Since the autumn of 1869, Whistler was a regular visitor at Leyland’s manor house, Speke Hall, eight miles from Liverpool, where his interest in etching revived and he executed plates of Liverpool docks and of Leyland’s family.

		Whistler drew her wearing a dark tippet and one of those little bonnets that ties under the chin.
		Whistler had little to recommend them save the eccentricity of their titles; there was a general absence of tone, that he had produced too much for his reputation.
		Many of the subjects of Whistler's etchings are portraits; frequently they are of his own talented friends such as Swinburne, Becquet and Druoet, the sculptors; the Leyland family, and even portraits of himself.

	An artist abroad; the prints of James McNeil Whistler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Whistler’s solution to avoid further disaster was to travel to Venice, the city that had inspired so many artists, and whose palaces and seascapes had been immortalised by the English artist J.M.W. Turner (1775–1851) – a painter admired by Whistler since childhood.
		Whistler also sought great variation in his etching technique, sometimes leaving a plate covered in a thin film of ink rather than just retained in the etched lines, He aimed for results that came to be described as ‘artistic printing’ – characterised by uneven inking, nuance and painterly qualities.
		Whistler’s scenes of Venice were criticised at the time because of his adoption of ‘picturesque’ compositions that included details of everyday habitation and signs of decay.

		James Abbott McNeill Whistler was born in in 1834 in Lowell, Massachusetts, the third son of West Point graduate and civil engineer Major George Washington Whistler, and his second wife Anna Matilda McNeill.
		Whistler's art is in many respects the opposite to his often aggressive personality, being discreet and subtle, but the creed that lay behind it was radical.
		Whistler's paintings are related to Impressionism (although he was more interested in evoking a mood than in accurately depicting the effects of light), to Symbolism, and to Aestheticism, and he played a central role in the modern movement in England.

		Whistler’s legacy as a printmaker is demonstrated through his series of remarkable etchings and later lithographs which he made from the 1850s to the turn of the century.
		Whistler himself was to become a key figure in this etching revival, although his loosely worked painterly style, known as ‘artistic printing’, came to be criticised by purists.
		Whistler’s growing admiration for Japanese art can be seen in his adoption of a flatter space, and the silhouetting and cropping of subject matter in several of the ‘Thames set’ etchings.

		Whistler's nocturnes were tangible demonstrations of his creed of aestheticism, which stressed the artist's duty to orchestrate selected elements from nature into a composition that, like music, existed for its own sake, without regard to moral or didactic issues.
		Whistler was assured, nevertheless, of a distinguished place as a precursor to abstract art.
		In his Ten O'Clock Lecture, Whistler analyzed his fascination for the Thames at night, explaining how the evening mist invested the riverside with poetry, transforming chimneys into campanili and warehouses into vast palaces of the night.

		In 1877 he exhibited a number of landscapes done in the Japanese manner; these paintings, which he called nocturnes, outraged conservative art opinion, which did not understand his avoidance of narrative detail, his layers of atmospheric color, and his belief in art for art's sake.

	Turner Whistler Monet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The culmination of an idea first conceived in 1988, 'Turner Whistler Monet' boasts a collection of over one hundred works from all three artists, many of which are the most popular works in their respective institutions and are rarely lent.
		Although comparisons between the three artists have been drawn in the past, the exhibition is unique in concentrating all three together and according to Katherine Lochnan, a Whistler scholar and senior curator of the Art Gallery of Ontario, it enables, for the first time, an exploration of their similarities in a 'sustained way'.
		This was especially a problem throughout the first two sections of the exhibition showing Turner and the early works of Whistler and Monet which, in addition to being let down by poor lighting, at times took on a dynamic more akin to a gathering counting down the New Year.

		Whistler's famous son, artist James McNeil Whistler, was born in the house in 1834.
		The building is a good example of a clapboarded-frame, five-bay, center-hall house of the late Federal style and was one of the most substantial houses built during Lowell's first generation, yet it appears modest by today's standards.

		Before it was begun, Whistler, ere he left Paris, had proceeded far with a plate, existing only in the state of trial proof, and, in that, of extreme rarity.
