Curator's notes about Whistler (+)
James Abbott McNeill Whistler (July 11, 1834 – July 17, 1903) was an American-born painter known for his contributions to the art movement known as Tonalism, characterized by a focus on the subtle effects of light and color. He found a parallel between painting and music, and entitled many of his paintings "arrangements", "harmonies", and "nocturnes", emphasizing the primacy of tonal harmony. His notable works include "Whistler's Mother" (1871) and "Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket" (1875). He played a significant role in establishing the importance of personal expression in art, and was a leading proponent of the credo "art for art's sake." Whistler has been quoted as saying "If the man who paints only the tree, or flower, or other surface he sees before him were an artist, the king of artists would be the photographer. It is for the artist to do something beyond this."
This curated collection includes some of Whistler's most famous and recognized artwork, as well as some lesser known pieces that we consider ideal for personal collectors. All framed art prints and canvas prints are created from high resolution source files of the original Whistler paintings.
