E-text prepared by Eric Eldred, Marc D'Hooghe, Charles Franks, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Modern Painting" by George Moore is a critical examination of the evolving art scene, primarily focusing on the development of painting in the late 19th century. Moore explores the works and influences of significant artists, with a keen interest in figures like James Whistler and his contemporaries. This work reflects the author's sharp insights on aesthetics and the transitions in artistic philosophy during this period. At the start of the book, Moore introduces his subject by reflecting on his long engagement with the enigmatic James Whistler, highlighting the complexities of Whistler's character and artistic philosophy. Through an in-depth analysis, Moore seeks to demystify Whistler’s approach, contrasting it with traditional artistic practices. He also juxtaposes Whistler's elegant nocturnes and portraits with those of other prominent artists, revealing a broader commentary on the state of modern art in his time. The opening sets a contemplative tone, indicating that the work will delve into both individual artistry and the larger cultural implications of art in society.
