James Abbott McNeill Whistler Special thanks to the Microsoft Corporation for permission to use following biographical information from James Abbott McNeill Whistler was an American painter and etcher, who assimilated Japanese art styles, made technical innovations, and championed modern art. Many regard him as preeminent among etchers. Whistler was born on July 10, 1834, in Lowell, Massachusetts. He entered the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1851, did not do well in his studies, and left in 1854 to take a job as a draftsman with the U.S. Coast Survey. One year later he left the United States and went to Paris, where he became a pupil of the Swiss classicist painter Charles Gabriel Gleyre. Formal instruction influenced him less, however, than his acquaintance with the French realist painter Gustave Courbet, other leading contemporary artists, and his own study of the great masters and of Japanese styles. In Paris, Whistler won recognition as an etcher when his first series of etchings, Twelve Etchings from Nature (commonly called The French Set), appeared in 1858. Soon after he moved to London, where his paintings, hitherto rejected repeatedly by the galleries of Paris, found acceptance. At the Piano was shown by the Royal Academy of London in 1860. In 1863Symphony in White No. 1: The White Girl (National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.) won great acclaim in Paris. Thereafter exhibitions of his work aroused increasing international interest, as did his flamboyantly eccentric personality.

James Abbott McNeill Whistler Born in Massachusetts, Whistler studied art at Paris and was initially accepted by the Royal Academy, but later branded by the same institution as an outlaw. He was influenced by Japanese art and frequently used musical terms for his paintings. In 1877, Whistler brought a libel action against John Ruskin, an important critic, for condemning Whistler's picture The Falling Rocket, a Nocturne in Black and Gold as nothing more than a "pot of paint" flung in the public's face. Whistler was awarded a mere farthing in damages, and the court costs left him penniless. Tremendously successful during his time, he was the recipient of many foreign honours, and exerted immense influence on contemporary art. He served as president of the Society of British Artists from 1886-1888 and later as president of the International Society of Sculptors, Painters, and Engravers from 1898 until his death. Whistler was a particularly controversial character - he came to refer to himself as "The Master" and frequently drove friends and followers away. He gathered the accounts of his public battles with various former friends and acquaintances gathered together in an 1890 volume titled, The Gentle Art of Making Enemies: As Pleasingly Exemplified in Many Instances, Wherein the Serious Ones of This Earth, Carefully Exasperated, Have Been Prettily Spurred on to Unseemliness and Indiscretion, While Overcome by an Undue Sense of Right

James Abbott McNeill Whistler Artist Whistler first moved to London in 1859. When in 1863 he settled at 7 Lindsey Row on the Thames in Chelsea, his neighbors included the Greaves family, whose two sons, Walter and Henry, had an interest in art. Skilled as watermen and boat builders, they not only escorted Whistler on his painting forays on the Thames, but they soon became his pupils. The brothers adopted his painting style as well as his manner of dress. The numerous portraits that Walter did of Whistler are a reflection of his affection for the charismatic artist.

James Abbott McNeill Whistler (American, 1834 - 1903) Featuring 6 works, please scroll down. Billingsgate, 1859 Original etching printed in black ink on cream laid paper with wide margins. Signed and dated in the plate in the lower right, "Whistler 1859." From the eight state of eight. Platemark: 6 x 8 7/8 inches. Catalogue Reference: Kennedy 47 The sites which Whistler etched along the Thames are almost unrecognizable today because of the devastation of the World War II Blitz and a century of remodeling. Billingsgate was the site of a Fish Market on the north bank of the river between the London Bridge (which can be seen in the background) and the Thames Tunnel. Because the composition was not reversed on the copper plate, it appears the wrong way around in the printed etching. Adam and Eve; Old Chelsea, 1879 Original etching on antique cream laid paper with margins. Second state of two; a superb impression with warm plate tone. From the ex-collection of Richard A. Rice, pencil inscription lower margin (not in Lugt). Platemark: 6 15/16 x 11 7/8 inches. Sheet size: 7 x 12 inches. Catalogue Reference: Mansfield 172; Kennedy 175 The Adam and Eve Tavern, on Duke Street, right below Battersea Bridge, was one of the more popular spots in Chelsea, until it was destroyed in 1872 to make room for the building of the Chelsea Embankment. Therefore, since Whistler created the image in 1879, he must have used a photo to work from. Hogarth and Son published the work in 1879 at six guineas an impression. 50374

Whistler, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, James Abbott McNeill (1834-1903). American-born painter and graphic artist, active mainly in England. 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. After brief stays in Stonington, Connecticut, and Springfield, Massachusetts, the Whistlers moved to St. Petersburg, Russia, where the Major served as an civil engineer for the construction of a railroad line to Moscow. James Abbott was aged nine when his family moved to Russia, and he spent several of his childhood years there, studying drawing at the Imperial Academy of Science. He soon became an inveterate traveller. In 1848 he went to live with his sister and her husband in London, and after his father's death the following year the family returned to the United States and settled in Pomfret, Connecticut. Whistler enrolled in the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1851, where he excelled in Robert W. Weir's drawing class. He was dismissed from the academy in 1854 for "deficiency in chemistry", and after brief periods working for the Winans Locomotive Works in Baltimore, and the drawings division of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey (he learnt etching as a US navy cartographer), resolved to become an artist and moved to Europe permanently in 1855. Whistler settled in Paris first, where he studied at the Ecole Impériale et Spéciale de Dessin, before entering the Académie Gleyre. He made copies in the Louvre, acquired a lasting admiration for

VIEW IMAGE LIST See also: American Art "James McNeill Whistler: American Etcher" ; Review: "James Abbott McNeill Whistler" "Whistler was the son of a railway engineer, born in Lowell, Massachusetts, but throughout his life he pretended to be a Southern gentleman. He was, in most imaginable ways, self-invented. Like West "Whistler was accepted by Paris as no American painter before him had been. As a young man, he worked with Gustave Courbet . He enjoyed the respect of and Edgar Degas , though the latter sometimes gave him the sharp edge of his tongue - "Visslair, you behave as though you had no talent." He appears (with Baudelaire, Manet, and other luminaries) in Fantin-Latour's group portrait of the rising art stars of 1864, Homage to Delacroix . "This American is a great artist," said Camille Pissarro , "and the only one of whom America can be justly proud." And Marcel Proust would turn part of his name, unpronounceable by the French, into an anagram: he became the painter Elstir in A la recherche A temps perdu . Posterity, of course, has not set him alongside those who saw him as a colleague. Whistler was one of those artists whose legend as wit, dandy, and esthetic kamikaze - for what was his libel suit against John Ruskin but a suicide mission, compelled by his own pose of "Southern honor"? - continued after his death and became a barrier to proper appraisal of his work. One would like to think that Whistler the artist flies clear of Whistler the celebrity, the "character." Not so. On the one hand, his self-construction, his sense of the self as a work of art, remains as fiercely impressive as Oscar Wilde's. "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" - he did that long before Muhammad All was born. But though a fine painter, he was never a great one, and it is absurd to class him with Degas or Manet. He didn't have the range, the formal toughness, or the breadth of human curiosity for that.

Whistler, James Abbott McNeill Arrangement in Yellow and Grey: Effie Deans c. 1876-78; Oil on canvas, 194 x 93 cm; Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam A woman standing, depicted in profile in subtle tints of bluish-grey, brown, ochre and yellow. James McNeill Whistler painted this work around 1876-78. His lover, Maud Franklin, was the artist's model. Whistler painted her full-length, set against a neutral background, evidently applying the paint with brisk strokes of the brush. For Whistler it was not so much a question of accurately portraying his models, as of creating a balanced composition of colours and forms. He would often call his paintings a 'Harmony' or - as here - an 'Arrangement'. The subtitle Whistler gave to the work is a reference to the tragic heroine created by Walter Scott: Effie Deans. The artist incorporated an appropriate quotation from the book in the painting, bottom left. Effie Deans Effie Deans is one of the central characters in The Heart of Midlothian , a novel by Sir Walter Scott, written in 1818. Effie had been imprisoned on a false charge: accused of having killed her illegitimate child. When an angry crowd stormed the goal, she had an opportunity to escape. But Effie decided to stay. Prison seemed a better prospect than a life of freedom with a tarnished reputation. At the time Whistler painted this portrait a play based on the story of Effie Deans was running at the Albion Theatre in London. Whistler may well have seen the play and been inspired by Effie's tragic fate.

[an error occurred while processing this directive] James McNeill Whistler A Review by Mark Harden James McNeill Whistler, the painter of that most American of worksthe 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 lived as an expatriate, alternating between London and Paris depending on the local artistic climate at the time. Egotistical, abrasive, and yet extremely talented, he stands as an isolated figure in art history, never directly associated with a specific style or school of painting. As a result, Whistler's work has in modern times rarely received the attention it deserves. The exhibition "James McNeill Whistler", now ending its run at the National Gallery in Washington, attempts to remedy this inattention by displaying major works spanning his artistic career. "At The Piano", 1858-59 ( 800 x 575 / 48 k / jpeg ) "Wapping", 1860-64 ( 640 x 445 / 64 k / jpeg ) Had Whistler continued with subjects such as "At the Piano", his acceptance into genteel art society would have been assured. "Wapping," however, was soundly rejected by the art establishment. Whistler's confrontation of this rejection foreshadowed the iconoclastic nature of his art that would continue for the rest of his life.

Olga's Gallery James Abbott McNeill Whistler James McNeill Whistler was born in Lowell, Massachusetts, USA, in 1834. He spent five years of his childhood (1843-1848) in St. Petersburg, Russia, where his father, George Washington Whistler (1800-1849), a railroad engineer, was employed in the building of the St. Petersburg-Moscow railroad. The artist’s mother, Anna Matilda McNeill, was a devout Christian, whom he admired all his life. In his early manhood he exchanged his middle name ‘Abbott’ for her maiden name ‘McNeill’. In St. Petersburg young James received his first art lessons in the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts and also learnt French. In 1849, Major Whistler died and his wife decided to bring her family to their homeland, setting at Pomfret, Connecticut, where James attended the local school until, in 1851, he entered West Point, the famous military academy. West Point at the time was an exclusive school, to which cadets were selected by congressmen. No doubt that the fact that his father had trained at West Point secured Whistler’s entry. Never becoming a military man, Whistler remembered the three years spent at the academy with affection. Among all subjects Whistler succeeded only in drawing, special difficulties were caused by chemistry, which at last became the reason of his ejection from the academy. ‘Had silicon been a gas,’ He later declared, ’I would have been a general-major’. West Point was followed by a brief period of employment in the United States Geodetic and Coast Survey offices in Washington. In 1855, Whistler arrived in Paris, the artistic capital of Europe, with the intention of becoming an artist.
