"This book is a concise introduction to Whistler's life and work. It charts the development of the artist's career from his realist scenes of modern life in Paris and London, to his enigmatic portraits and final accomplishments as a printmaker. Bringing together a selection of exquisite paintings, arresting portraits and works on paper from across the artist's career, it highlights the distinctive attention to composition and display that became central to his artistic identity. Emphasising the key events of Whistler's life, including his many travels and well-publicised disputes with friends and critics alike, it celebrates a unique artist whose vision and principles defied the conventions of his time"-- Back cover.
