Overview

""A luscious, seductive blockbuster for the painter who scandalised Britain."" - THE GUARDIAN ""Magnificent... Sublime."" - THE INDEPENDENT ""Tate's wondrous Whistler retrospective left me spellbound - a must-see."" - THE DAILY TELEGRAPH ""Up close with a witty, tricky painter... Beauty is back."" - THE TIMES Published to accompany the first major European exhibition of his work in 30 years, experience the captivating world of rule-breaking American artist James McNeill Whistler. Experience the captivating world of rule-breaking American artist James McNeill Whistler. A truly global figure, Whistler re-wrote the rules of what it meant to be an artist. He pioneered new and innovative techniques, creating astonishingly beautiful, ethereal visions of modern life that would earn him a place as one of the most influential artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. This retrospective - the first major European exhibition of Whistler's work in 30 years - brings together the artist's world-famous paintings alongside rarely, or never seen, works. It includes exquisite portraits, drawings, prints, and designs, from as early as his teens in St. Petersburg to the enigmatic late self-portraits. The exhibition presents both a boldly experimental artist and cosmopolitan celebrity, disrupting the conventions of Victorian society in pursuit of truth, beauty, and progress.
