Whistler,
Women and Fashion
by Susan Grace Galassi, et al
Book Description Costume and fashion were a lifelong obsession for
James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903). His exquisite depictions of women and
the details of their clothing contributed to his career as one of the most
accomplished and successful—if controversial—artists of the nineteenth
century. This lavishly illustrated book focuses on fashion in Whistler's
art as a key to understanding his life and work and as a new means of exploring
his relationship with women and his portraits of them. The book offers
new insights into some of Whistler’s most beloved masterpieces in the context
of art and fashion in the Victorian period.
Illustrated with paintings, pastels, prints, and drawings by Whistler,
the book also presents photographs of his sitters, contemporary costumes,
works by other artists of the period, and artifacts from Whistler's studio.
These illustrations, with new material drawn from the Centre for Whistler
Studies, illuminate the interaction between the artist and the women he
portrayed during his fifty years in Paris and London—mistresses, family
members, artists, actresses, aristocrats, and many others.

Description James McNeil Whistler was one of the most contentious artists
of the 19th century, nut alsoone of the most misunderstood. Painter, draughtsman,
etcher, watercolorist and interior designer, he was renowned as much for
his wit, style and elegance as he was for his work. The story of Whistler's
life unfolds in a mixture of humor and pathos, told through images found
in his paintings to the music of Debussy, who found inspiration from his
work.
