James Abbott McNeill Whistler was The American painter; etcher; and lithographer who created a new set of principles for the fine arts; favored "art for arts sake"; and introduced a delicate style of painting in which atmosphere and mood were the main focus. Establishing himself as a painter in Paris and London; Whistler developed his distinctive style; utilizing muted colors and simple forms. His masterpiece is largely credited as "Whistlers Mother" ("Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1"). His work later provided the inspiration for Oscar Wildes novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890). In later years Whistler devoted himself increasingly to etching; drypoint; lithography; and interior decoration.

However; it is very technical as it is written as a thesis and not for a leisure read for pure pleasure. I recommend this for anyone who likes facts about tango.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. wonderful bookBy bookloververy readable; informative and entertaining. lovely photos to enhance the text. great for dancers and non dancers alike. an achievement in music and dance lit.
