James McNeill Whistler

1834–1903, VS (Lowell), Frankrijk (Parijs), Engeland (Londen), Esthetisme

Whistler groeide op in Massachusetts en Sint-Petersburg en woonde in Parijs en Londen. ‘Kunst om de kunst’ was zijn motto: hij noemde zijn schilderijen ‘symfonieën’, ‘arrangementen’ en ‘nocturnes’, alsof het muziekstukken waren. Zijn etsen van de Theems en van Venetië behoren tot de mooiste van de negentiende eeuw.
