	James McNeill Whistler: Etchings
		Whistler was one of the most controversial artists of the last part of the nineteenth century and delighted in puncturing the stuffiness of the English whose lifes he delighted in enlivening.
		Whistler made it his mission in England, where he spent the latter part of his life, to attack the notion that the artist must portray the subjects upon which he worked recognizably, prefering instead to present the inner harmony that he felt when painting, etching, or making prints.
		In this etching, we see Whistler drawing on copper, sketching rapidly so that the etched view of the recling child runs into the head of a woman in a hat seen in profile.

	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.

		Whistler spent his last years destroying many early paintings and drawings from his Paris studio and working on a full length self portrait, Brown and Gold, which was displayed at the Paris Universal Exposition in 1900 but continually revised up to Whistler's death in London in 1903, at age 69.

	A Sense of Justice:Whistler, Ruskin, James, Impressionism
		Whistler encouraged the use of this critical language, of course, by declaring narrative foreign to painting and by highlighting instead the private, sensory nature of its appeal to the spectator, an appeal that entails the same sort of "sympathy" that Botticelli elicited from Pater (36).
		That Whistler's courtroom and published defenses of his antinarrative, anti-realist procedures assumed forms as belligerent and polemical as Ruskin's reinforces the suspicion that a species of cultural pedagogy was the barely repressed double of impressionism's supposedly dominant tendencies toward the psychological and introspective.
		James elaborates this sense of compromised, compromising freedom early in the novel by sketching the drawbacks, as well as the advantages, of the irregular or "liberal" education bestowed on Isabel and her sisters by their recently deceased father.
