Anderson, Ronald; Koval, Anne James McNeill Whistler : Beyond the Myth
0786710322 / 9780786710324; ArtNews said of this book: "Likely to be the Whistler biography for some time to come. a generally absorbing, readable, and informative book." From Whistler's childhood in Tsarist Russia to his military training at West Point, then on to a Bohemian lifestyle in Paris during the 1850's and a controversial career in Victorian London as a painter and printmaker, he himself continually cultivated the myth that has long clouded his artistic achievement and misguided his biographers. Now, in a probing revisionist account, the authors seek out theprivate man and uncover the serious artist beyond Whistler's fabulously crafted public persona as a witty, irascible dandy endlessly feuding witht he art establishment or anyone else who stood in his way. Exploring his friendships with painters like Courbet, Fantin-Latour, Rossetti, Millais, Manet, Monet, and Degas as well as poets and aesthetes such as Baudelaire, Swinburne, Oscar Wilde, and Mallarme, the authors illuminate in full Whistler's pivotal role in bridging the prolific and immensely different art worlds of London and Paris in the 19th century. 544 pages including notes and an index; 20 pages of photographs, six in full color. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
