James McNeill Whistler

Symphony in White, No. 1

US$ 591.00

A woman in white stands on a wolfskin against a white curtain, holding a lily, her red hair the only strong colour in the picture. Critics insisted on reading a story into it — a bride, a fallen woman — and Whistler was exasperated: he had painted white against white to see what would happen. Rejected by both the Royal Academy and the Salon.

Artist:

James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) was born in Massachusetts, trained in Paris and settled in London, where he argued for art as arrangement rather than storytelling. He titled his pictures like music — symphonies, nocturnes, arrangements — and sued Ruskin for saying he flung a pot of paint at the public. He won a farthing in damages.
