Son of Major G. W. Whistler, a railway engineer, and his second wife, Anna McNeill, James McNeill Whistler was born in Lowell, Massachusetts. He attended art classes at Saint Petersburg Academy of Arts and Sciences during a five-year sojourn in Russia and then at the United States Military Academy at West Point, N.Y..
An admirer of Rembrandt’s etchings, Whistler learned to etch at the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey in Washington, D.C., in 1855. With the help of printer Auguste Delâtre, he published his first set of etchings, the “French Set”, in 1858. It was followed by the “Thames Set” (London, 1871) and by two Venetian sets (1880, 1886), which secured Whistler’s reputation. In 1855 he went to study art in Paris, where he joined the academy of Charles Gleyre and was influenced by Gustave Courbet, leader of the Realist movement.
Whistler's early Realist painting, “At the Piano” (1858-59; Taft Museum, Cincinnati), was well received at the Royal Academy in London in 1860, but “The White Girl” (1862; National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.) was rejected by the academy in 1862 and by the Paris Salon in 1863 and hung at the Salon des Refusés instead. His Japanese subjects were admired for their color and exoticism but criticized for their lack of "finish." Whistler moved in the circle of the Pre-Raphaelite Dante Gabriel Rossetti. An advocate, like his friend Albert Moore, of "art for art’s sake," Whistler painted figural compositions, such as “Symphony in White No. 3” (Barber Institute of Fine Art, University of Birmingham, Eng.), whose titles emphasize the importance of color over subject.
Concurrently with his figurative subjects, Whistler painted vigorous seascapes. His work in Valparaiso, Chile, in 1867 inaugurated the famous Nocturnes of the 1870s. He also turned to deeply psychological portraits, such as “Arrangement in Gray and Black, No. 1: The Artist's Mother” (1871; Musée du Louvre, Paris), which hung in his one-man exhibition at the Flemish Gallery, London, in 1874. In 1876 he started the major decorative scheme known as the Peacock Room (Freer Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.), which became a gorgeous harmony in blue and gold for his patron, the Liverpool shipowner F. R. Leyland. Disputes over the scale of Whistler's work for this commission later led to a break between the two men.
In 1877 Whistler exhibited eight paintings at the newly opened Grosvenor Gallery, London. In a review of the show, John Ruskin attacked “Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket” (1875; Detroit Institute of Arts). The artist sued Ruskin for libel and won, but his legal expenses forced him into bankruptcy in 1879. That year, the insolvent Whistler traveled to Venice to fulfill a commission for twelve etchings, the “First Venice Set”.
Whistler's works in all mediums were usually small (5 by 8 inches), though he did execute lifesize portraits. Extremely thin paint, fluid brushwork, and subtle color harmonies distinguish his paintings. Expressive line, intricate detail, and a feeling for light, movement, and character mark his drawings and prints.
The artist was at the forefront of the etching and lithography revivals. His late etchings of Holland and his lithographs of Lyme Regis, on the southern coast of England, as well as his moving lithographic portraits of his dying wife, Beatrice, are among his finest works.
In the 1880s and 1890s Whistler gained international acclaim, exhibiting throughout Europe and America. As president of the International Society of Painters, Sculptors and Gravers, his radical influence on art and exhibition design bore fruit, evidenced in their exhibitions of 1898, 1899, and 1901. He died in Chelsea, London.
