An edition of Whistler: A Biography (1974)

Whistler

a biography.

"Whistler was, to say the least, a character. Born in Massachusetts, he claimed to be a Southerner and wound up living most of his life abroad - in Russia, France, and England (though he could not tolerate more than brief periods in France and thoroughly disliked the English). Whistler's sense of belligerent alienation erupted in ways that were endlessly fascinating to both Europeans and Americans.

His insatiable urge to take his grievances to court (including literary and artistic grievances); his feuds and vendettas with such worthies as Ruskin, Wilde, and Beardsley; his acid wit and libelous invective; his ability to set fashions in art, dress, even lifestyle; his love affairs and relentless social climbing - his was a flamboyant life."--BOOK JACKET.

Excerpts

"DETERMINED that no mendacious scamp shall tell the foolish truths about me when centuries have gone by, and anxiety no longer pulls at the pen of the 'pupil' who should sell the soul of his Master."
