	Study in White
		Whistler described this as an act of 'rare and noble camaraderie.' (E.R. and J. Pennell "The Whistler Journal" p.34) The project hung fire.
		Sargent used to say that Whistler's use of paint was so exquisite that if a piece of canvas were cut out of one of his pictures one would find that it was in itself a thing of beauty by the very texture and substance into which it had been transformed by his brush.
		Whistler's interest in working-class subjects, the sense of alienation and detachment in his Venetian work, and his prevalent use of apertures all have parallels in Sargent's Venetian paintings.

		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.

		The gallery of John's sitters is a contemporary gallery of Britain's great ones: from Thomas Hardy to Winston Churchill and Queen Elizabeth.
		John's view of Poet Dylan Thomas, with the poet's chubby face and curly hair, hits a high pitch of adolescent sensuality, freshness and innocence; it might well outlast Thomas' own vivid verse.
