Book Description
"This new study focuses on a little-documented period of Whistler's career: his stay in Venice from 1879 to 1880. Arriving in the footsteps of such renowned artists as Canaletto, Guardi, and Turner, whose enthusiasm for representing the city was shared by so many Grand Tourists, Whistler was determined to do more than simply capture its popular views. He wanted to penetrate further - to achieve a greater understanding of the nature of Venice itself." "As this book reveals, Whistler's struggle to find a "Venice of the Venetians" proved profoundly significant, challenging and redefining the ways in which others viewed the city. It also traces the remarkable breadth of his influence on artists in Europe and the United States, including John Singer Sargent, whose lifelong association with Whistler - begun during their stay in Venice - receives a new, in-depth appraisal. Whistler's impact on pictorial photography, notably on the work of Alfred Stieglitz, is explored here for the first time."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Description
Tan paper/boards; brown cloth spine. Gilt lettering and small decoration. xiii, 289 pp. with 43 bw plates. Top edges gilt. Bookplate of Alexander T. Van Laer on front end paper. No dust jacket, likely as issued. This is the 1909 edition of this book, lacking some letters by Whistler which were published in the 1908 first edition. The author was a friend of Whistler's during his time in Venice and well-disposed to write on the subject, of which little is otherwise known. Good. Very clean contents with no chips, tears, or other blemishes (no foxing, damp staining, etc.). Covers have some shelf soiling. Front board is separated from spine at bottom (4 inches), causing hinge to loosen. One free end paper has detached but is laid in. Alexander T. Van Laer (1857-1920) was an American artist who studied at the Art Students League of New York and in the Netherlands.

Book Description
In the 1880s, James McNeil Whistler revolutionized the way artists represented the city of Venice by producing images that moved away from the major tourist monuments to depict the squares, back alleys, and isolated canals that only residents knew. His novel approach inspired generations of printmakers who worked in Venice, and this book celebrates their work. Ernest David Roth (1879-1964) was one of the most significant American etchers of the first half of the 20th century, and his most important achievements are the views he did of Venice between 1905 and 1941. Roth and his friends John Taylor Arms and Louis Rosenberg formed the nucleus of a circle of American etchers that created a timeless vision of European and American cityscapes and landscapes in the 1920s and 1930s, and their Venetian views are at the center of their accomplishment.

Book Description
A biography of James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) that dispels the popular notion of Whistler as merely a combative, eccentric and unrelenting publicity seeker, a man as renowned for his public feuds with Oscar Wilde and John Ruskin as for the iconic portrait of his mother.
