Whistler’s Mother

$ 795

Description:

Whistler’s Mother, officially titled Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1 (1871), is James McNeill Whistler’s most celebrated work and a masterpiece of portraiture. The painting depicts the artist’s mother, Anna McNeill Whistler, seated in profile against a muted background, capturing both her quiet dignity and the restraint of the composition. Whistler approached it as much more than a portrait, emphasizing balance, tone, and structure, which is why he called it an “arrangement.” Over time, the work has come to symbolize themes of motherhood, endurance, and cultural identity, earning a place as one of the most recognized and revered images in Western art.

Artist:

James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834–1903) was an American-born artist active mainly in Europe, best known for his innovative approach to portraiture and his emphasis on mood and harmony over narrative detail. Associated with the Aesthetic Movement, he believed in the principle of “art for art’s sake,” often titling his works as “arrangements” or “nocturnes” to highlight their musical qualities. His most famous painting, Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1 (Whistler’s Mother), has become an iconic image of restraint, dignity, and artistic subtlety. Whistler’s refined use of color, tone, and composition influenced modern art and cemented his reputation as a pioneer who bridged realism and abstraction.
