James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903): Whistler on Art

by Nigel Thorpe and James McNeill Whistler

James McNeill Whistler was an American-born painter and etcher. He wrote more than 5000 letters which, with his published writing and conversations, illuminate his work and his contentious relations with the art world of the time. This book includes 75 items: letters (many unpublished before) and material recording his disillusion with English approaches to art and his response to the French, Scottish and American art worlds.
