Issued in conjunction with a 1995 exhibition of artwork by American artist James Abbott McNeil Whistler (1834-1903). "He did not seek inspiration on mountain tops or hermits' cells but in the hurly burly of society in London and Paris, on the misty river Thames and within the grim docklands ... To Whistler, everything mattered, even the colour of the socks of a gallery attendant! Drawing out the major themes of his life and work, this book shows how, while much influenced by his own times, Whistler's art has an originality and brilliance which places him among the great painters of the nineteenth century." (back cover) Includes views of The Peacock Room and various essays.
