| Summary | "Whistler" by T. Martin Wood is a biography focusing on the life and work of the renowned American artist James Abbot McNeill Whistler, written in the early 20th century. This detailed account explores Whistler's artistic philosophy, unique style, and the influential relationships he had throughout his life, particularly in London and Paris. The book delves into the topic of the aesthetic movement in art, emphasizing Whistler's approach to painting and his belief in the intrinsic beauty of art for its own sake. In this biography, Wood paints a vivid portrait of Whistler, highlighting his dual personality as both an artist and a public figure known for his flamboyant lifestyle and sharp wit. The narrative chronicles Whistler's journey from his early days in Lowell, Massachusetts, to his significant contributions to art in England and abroad. Wood discusses key aspects of Whistler’s work, such as his mastery in creating nocturnes and portraits, including the famous "Arrangement in Grey and Black," also known as "Whistler's Mother." The text also covers pivotal moments in Whistler's career, including his contentious trial against John Ruskin, which ultimately shaped his reputation and legacy in the art world. Throughout the biography, readers gain insight into Whistler's relentless pursuit of perfection and his philosophical views on the role of art in society.
