A. MacNeill (James Abbott MacNeill) Whistler, James McNeil 10024289 The Whistler book : $b a monograph of the life and position in art of James McNeill Whistler, together with a careful study of his more important works Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Maria Grist and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Whistler Book" by Sadakichi Hartmann is a monograph written in the early 20th century. The work provides an in-depth exploration of the life and artistic significance of James McNeill Whistler, along with a careful analysis of his key paintings. The book delves into Whistler's aesthetics, particularly his preference for capturing transient moments of beauty through the medium of art. The opening of "The Whistler Book" begins with a personal reflection on the author's favorite flower, the white chrysanthemum, which serves as a metaphor for Whistler's artistic philosophy. Hartmann discusses Whistler's opposition to realism and highlights his quest to capture fleeting moments of beauty in life and nature. The text presents Whistler as an artist who viewed beauty as something subjective, often hidden in the simplicity of everyday moments, and emphasizes how his works sought to preserve these ephemeral moments for the audience. Through a series of artistic analyses, Hartmann sets the stage for understanding Whistler's unique contributions to art, hinting at the deeper themes that will unfold in the subsequent chapters.
