Detail

James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) was an American artist who lived most of his life in the UK. He was known for his innovative artistic style and bold personality, with a reputation for verbal and legal retaliations against art critics, dealers and artists who insulted his work, and those with whom he had quarrelled. This exhibition reveals new research into the influence of industry, the military and historical revivalism on one of the greatest artists of the nineteenth century through his depictions of natural and industrial landscapes.
