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.

Encyclopedia Whistler, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, James Abbott McNeill, The Little White Girl To advertise and defend his credo of art for art's sake, Whistler resorted to elaborate exhibits, lectures, polemics, and more than one lawsuit. In connection with his Falling Rocket: Nocturne in Black and Gold Nocturne in Black and Gold, and Arrangement in Gray and Black (the famed portrait of the artist's mother, 1872; Louvre). Whistler won the argument in court but payment of the court costs left him bankrupt. Toward the end of his life Whistler won wide recognition for his admirable draftsmanship, exquisite color, and extreme technical proficiency both as painter and etcher. As an etcher he achieved a high reputation. More than 400 superb plates remain. He also excelled in lithography, watercolor, and pastel. Fine examples of Whistler's painting are in the galleries of London, Paris, Pittsburgh, Washington, D.C., Chicago, and New York City. The most representative collection is that in the Freer Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., which also contains an entire room that he decorated in a style that anticipated art nouveau Nocturne in Green and Gold, Cremorne Gardens at Night

Back in the U.S. after leaving school he first studied for the army at West Point, but failed although he learned his draughtsmanship skills there. He left America, never to return, He first went to Paris to study art under Charles Gleyre, but the principal influence on him was Courbet and also the prints of Hokkusai which had recently been introduced to Europe. He settled in London, where his mother joined him in 1863. He spent a period in Venice where he made two series of etchings which had immense success when exhibited back in London where he had now settled. He became a celebrated portrait and landscape artist. In 1877 he exhibited at the Grosvenor Gallery and one of his Nocturne paintings was villified by the eminent critic Ruskin (' flinging a pot of paint in the public's face .'). Whistler sued Ruskin in a celebrated court case and was awarded one farthing damages (a quarter of a penny). This provoked him to write his book

His abrasive and colorful personal style had a profound impact on European and American art. He was the first to declare "Art for Art's Sake," giving his paintings simple names such as "Symphony in White," in the hope that the public would view the entire composition rather than the image the artist suggested by referencing a title. Marking the centenary of his death is the exhibition "Mr. Whistler's Galleries: Avant-Garde in Victorian London," which re-creates "Arrangement in White and Yellow," and "Arrangement in Flesh Colour and Grey," two of Whistler's most famous and influential installations. Both were controversial and radically innovative as they challenged long-standing assumptions about the presentation of art. They featured identically framed canvases, hung widely apart, on plain, lightly colored wallsin moderately sized but elegantly appointed roomsat a time when exhibitions routinely displayed pieces from floor to ceiling with no space between frames.
