Whistler, James Abbott McNeill
(1834-1903)
American-born painter and graphic artist, active mainly in England.
James Abbott McNeill Whistler was born in in 1834 in Lowell,
Massachusetts, the third son of West Point graduate and civil engineer
Major George Washington Whistler, and his second wife Anna Matilda
McNeill. After brief stays in Stonington, Connecticut, and Springfield,
Massachusetts, the Whistlers moved to St. Petersburg, Russia, where the
Major served as an civil engineer for the construction of a railroad
line to Moscow. James Abbott was aged nine when his family moved to
Russia, and he spent several of his childhood years there, studying
drawing at the Imperial Academy of Science.
Whistler's paintings are related to Impressionism (although he was more
interested in evoking a mood than in accurately depicting the effects of
light), to Symbolism, and to Aestheticism, and he played a central role
in the modern movement in England. His aesthetic creed was explained in
his Ten O'Clock Lecture (1885) and this, and much else on art and
society, was republished in The Gentle Art of Making Enemies (1890).
