James McNeil Whistler
1834 - 1903
Born in Lowell, Massachusetts, James Whistler became one of the most
influential late 19th-century American painters and etchers, although
he lived primarily in England. He worked in a wide variety of styles
that included Impressionism, Symbolism, and Art Nouveau. He was
especially influential in the Tonalist movement and was a catalyst for
those who wanted to break away from prescribed academic methods, credited
with being the first American modernist to influence European art.
