James Abbott McNeill Whistler James Abbott McNeill Whistler was an American-born, British-based painter and etcher. Averse to sentimentality in painting, he was a leading proponent of the credo "art for art's sake". He took to signing his paintings with a stylized butterfly, possessing a long stinger for a tail. The symbol was apt, for Whistler's art was characterized by a subtle delicacy, in contrast to his combative public persona. Whistler was born on July 10, 1834 in Lowell, Massachusetts. Whistler spent part of his childhood and most of his mature life in Europe. After three years at the West Point Military Academy, he went in 1855 to Paris, where he worked for two years in Gleyre’s studio and later became an associate of Fantin-Latour, Legros, and Courbet. He exhibited in the Salon des Refusés in 1863, and throughout his career he associated with his more experimental contemporaries. Whistler was an extrovert who often allowed fact to become merged with fiction. His litigious nature made him a legend in his own lifetime. In 1896, he become President of the Society of British Artists. Whistler referred to himself as "the butterfly" and used a butterfly motif as his signature. Whistler died in 1903 in London. “James McNeill Whistler’s position in the history of British art is as paradoxical as his personality: flamboyant dandy and wit, he was also a serious craftsman, tirelessly dedicated to the perfection of his art. Having learned much from his French and English contemporaries, he nevertheless emerged as an isolated figure who attracted followers but established no leading style.”

5. Poets & Writers: James Abbott McNeill Whistler James Abbott McNeill Whistler 18341903. Born in Massachusetts, Whistler studied art at Paris and was initially accepted by the Royal Academy, http://www.library.ubc.ca/spcoll/Colbeck/writers/whistler.htm

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

The people have been harassed with Art in every guise, and vexed with many methods as to its endurance. They have been told how they shall love Art, and live with it. Their homes have been invaded, their walls covered with paper, their very dress taken to taskuntil, roused at last, bewildered and filled with the doubts and discomforts of senseless suggestion, they resent such intrustion, and cast forth the false prophets, who have brought the very name of the beautiful into disrepute, and derision upon themselves. Symphony in White, No. 1: The White Girl , Oil on canvas, 1862, National Gallery of Art, Washington Image courtesy of Mark Harden's Artchive Alas! ladies and gentlemen, Art has been maligned. She has naught in common with such practices. She is a goddess of dainty thoughtreticent of habit, abjuring all obtrusiveness, purposing in no way to better others. She is, withal, selfishly occupied with her own perfection onlyhaving no desire to teachseeking and finding the beautiful in all conditions and in all times, as did her high priest Rembrandt, when he saw picturesque grandeur and noble dignity in the Jews' quarter of Amsterdam, and lamented not that its inhabitants were not Greeks.

James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834 - 1903) 19th Century American Painting Click on a thumbnail below to see an enlarged view and detailed information: Nocturne Palaces "Whistler's immense graphic talents influenced American style: he led a number of Americans to a new attitude about art, to a new view of etching and lithography, and to a 'new' medium, the pastel. If he was not an Impressionist-and in any strict sense he surely was not-he nonetheless led others toward an impressionistic style. Economy of means was always important for him, and even his critics recognized that his 'audacity is based on directness and simplicity of color.' American artists had been moving toward the subjective, the expressive, incisive strokes. And watercolor for Whistler was the most evanescent of mediums: his small sketches are literally impressions, with a few strokes of a wet brush conveying the most delicate moods of nature." quotation from Theodore E. Stebbins, Jr., American Master Drawings and Watercolors Selected Permanent Collections: Addison Gallery of American Art, Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass.

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.

Whistler, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, James Abbott McNeill (1834-1903). American-born painter and graphic artist, active mainly in England. He spent several of his childhood years in Russia (where his father had gone to work as a civil engineer) and was an inveterate traveller. His training as an artist began indirectly when, after his discharge from West Point Military Academy for `deficiency in chemistry', he learnt etching as a US navy cartographer. In 1855 he went to Paris, where he studied intermittently under Gleyre, made copies in the Louvre, acquired a lasting admiration for Velázquez , and became a devotee of the cult of the Japanese print and oriental art and decoration in general. Through his friend Fantin-Latour he met Courbet , whose Realism inspired much of his early work. The circles in which he moved can be gauged from Fantin-Latour's Homage to Delacroix , in which Whistler is portrayed alongside Baudelaire, Manet , and others. He settled in London in 1859, but often returned to France. His At the Piano (Taft Museum, Cincinnati, 1859) was well received at the Royal Academy exhibition in 1860 and he soon made a name for himself, not just because of his talent, but also on account of his flamboyant personality. He was famous for his wit and dandyism, and loved controversy. His life-style was lavish and he was often in debt.
