About James McNeill Whistler

1834–1903 • United States

James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) was an American-born painter and printmaker who spent most of his career in Europe, becoming a leading figure in the Aesthetic Movement and a pioneer of both Tonalism and Japonisme. He fundamentally challenged Victorian artistic conventions by championing "art for art's sake" and treating paintings as visual equivalents of musical compositions.
