James McNeill Whistler (1834–1903) was born in Lowell, Massachusetts, spent part of his childhood in St Petersburg, and after leaving the West Point military academy went to Paris in 1855 to study art. From 1859 he lived mostly in London, where his etchings of the working Thames made his name. He became the leading champion of 'art for art's sake', giving his paintings musical titles such as Nocturne, Symphony and Arrangement, and his Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1, known as Whistler's Mother, is one of the most famous American paintings. In 1878 he sued the critic John Ruskin for libel and won a farthing in damages. We print six of his works, including Grey and Silver: Old Battersea Reach (1863) from Chicago and early Thames etchings from Birmingham and the Rijksmuseum.
