Who was Whistler?

If you just want a coffee table book. This critter will work fine. However, we find that this book is way more than just a coffee table book. It is a well-organized chronological biography of Whistler and the world he grew up in. There are 139 plates; mostly Whistler's, but there are pictures from other contemporaries. One of my favorites is number 16, Beata Beatrix, by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, 1864-70. A good companion to the book would be the PBS program: “James McNeill Whistler & The Case for Beauty” (2014).
