{"product_id":"whistler-on-art-nigel-throp-9781857547641","title":"Whistler on Art","description":"James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) was a central figure in the artistic life of mid-19th-century Paris and London. His distinct aesthetic--appreciating a work of art as an arrangement of colors, lines, and shapes, was a precursor for the abstract art of the 20th century. This retrospective brings together Whistler's letters, interviews, and other writings--many previously unpublished. In letters to other artists, family, and patrons, Whistler discusses his principles of composition, his use of the terms \u003ci\u003eNocturne\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSymphony\u003c\/i\u003e, the rights of dealers and owners, and his celebrated libel suit against John Ruskin. This collection illuminates the work of a major artist and an artistic milieu at a pivotal crossroads. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nigel Throp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1857547640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781857547641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carcanet Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.46w x 0.60d","brand":"Nigel Throp","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939029025023,"sku":"9781857547641","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d9715379-9408-4e0d-935c-d9b9f8ee11e3.jpg?v=1681439077","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/whistler-on-art-nigel-throp-9781857547641","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
