In his "Ten O'Clock Lecture" in 1885, American James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) presented himself as an artist set apart from the public, bearing no relation to the historical moment in which he lived. However, the myth of artistic independence that Whistler developed was but one part of a complex and highly significant relationship he had with the world around him. As a painter, printmaker, designer, traveler and performer, Whistler engaged with a variety of places, people and ideas that stretched from the United States to London, Venice and Japan.
Drawn entirely from the renowned Lunder Collection, this comprehensive catalogue places Whistler in a dynamic international and cosmopolitan context, and includes the finest examples of his prints. The 24 essays included in the catalogue explore how Whistler transferred his immediate surroundings into a "realm of art," while he, in turn, was shaped by the encounters he had traversing the global art worlds of the 19th century.

Title: Beautiful Whistler Study
Review: Absolutely beautiful large format book on Whistler works from the Lunder collection at Colby College. Fortunately they have an extensive collection that represents all periods and media of Whistler's work. It focuses on his prints- but so did he. Well written texts by multiple authors, and beautifully reproduced images. Recommended whole heartedly!

Title: Quality book but very few paintings! Mostly pen and ink etchings
Review: Book is beautiful and with some excellent scholarly essays on whistler, BUT very very few paintings. Mostly pen and ink, which are clear and nice reproductions. I was looking for paintings. Oh well. Inspiration to practice pen and ink. Whistler was pretty talented.
