Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planning a brief stay in Venice to create twelve commissioned etchings, Whistler became enchanted with the beauty of the city in 1879 and remained there for more than a year. He worked in all areas of the city, producing about fifty etchings, a few oils, and, most remarkably, one hundred pastels. This beautifully illustrated book is the first to follow Whistler's progress through Venice as he made his powerful and evocative portraits of the city. Alongside each of Whistler's etchings, pastels, and oils are photographs of the actual sites where he made them. Alastair Grieve's detailed comparisons of Whistler's works and their corresponding sites reveal much about the artist's methods and techniques, about the changing fabric of the city, and about Whistler's genius as a topographical artist. Grieve also compares Whistler's approach with that of other artists and photographers working in Venice at the same time. Whistler arrived in Venice bankrupt in the wake of a sensational libel trial against John Ruskin in London. Venice proved both restorative and transforming for Whistler -- it released a flood of creativity that enabled him to reestablish his finances, his reputation, and to a degree his personal life. His representations of well-known landmarks, including the church of Santa Maria della Salute and the Rialto Bridge, as well as many minor courts, alleys, and back canals, established a new and original iconography of the city. Upon his return to London, Whistler exhibited his Venice works and gradually reassumed a leading place in the Victorian art avant-garde.

Book excerpt: The celebrated American painter James Abbott McNeill Whistler found inspiration from diverse sources like Rembrandt, Velázquez, and ancient Greek sculpture to cultivate his own highly influential and unique style. With an extensive body of work encompassing nearly 500 paintings, etchings, pastels, watercolors, sketches, and lithographs, Whistler demonstrated mastery across numerous artistic mediums. A leading figure in the Aesthetic Movement, Whistler was an outspoken advocate, writer, and lecturer on the principle of "art for art's sake." In instructing his students, he stressed elemental design, economy of technique, avoidance of overwrought methods, and tonal harmony in the final result. Whistler has been the subject of many major museum exhibitions, scholarly studies, and books. Like the Impressionists, he drew inspiration from nature itself. However, Whistler contended that it was the role of the artist to interpret what he observed rather than be constrained by literal truth, and to "elicit splendid harmony from chaos." Whistler influenced two generations of painters in Europe and America during his lifetime. He engaged in extensive interaction with Realist, Impressionist, and Symbolist artists, exchanging ideas and aspirations. The painter Walter Sickert and writer Oscar Wilde were two of his famous protégés for a period. Numerous American artists like John Singer Sargent, William Merritt Chase, Henry Salem Hubbell, and Willis Seaver Adams were impacted by his Tonalist style after befriending him in Venice. In the late 1890s, Whistler met Arthur Frank Mathews in Paris. Mathews brought Whistler's Tonalism to San Francisco where it was widely adopted by California artists around the turn of the century. In 1907, American art critic Charles Caffin wrote: James Abbott McNeill Whistler, an American painter who left an indelible mark on the art world, transcended the confines of a mere following or imitators. His influence resonates across myriad studios globally, shaping contemporary artistic philosophy in both conscious and subconscious ways.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With Kindest Regards records the extraordinary friendship between the American expatriate artist James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) and his most significant patron, Charles Lang Freer (1854-1919). By the time the industrialist from Detroit met the artist in 1890, Whistler was as notorious for his irascibility as he was famous for his artistic productions. Freer, however, would always maintain that he had never met a truer, nobler man. Their correspondence reveals a warmth and generosity in Whistler that has gone largely unobserved." "The eighty-nine letters, telegrams, cablegrams, and calling cards chronicle the growth of Freer's Whistler collection, the largest and most important in the world. Linda Merrill sets the correspondence in context and traces the contacts between the two men during their long acquaintance. She observes how the previously unpublished letters cast new light on Freer's aesthetic education and expand the history of Whistler's later years. Even Freer's outstanding collection of Asian art began with the keen interest in Japanese art he shared with Whistler." "Illustrated with works from the Freer collection and vintage photographs from the Freer Gallery Archives, With Kindest Regards makes important original documents accessible for the first time, augments the legends of Whistler's personality, and reveals the foundation of Charles Freer's legacy to the United States."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
