The Whistler book : a monograph of the life and position in art of James McNeill Whistler, together with a careful study of his more important works
Sadakichi Hartmann's 1910 monograph on James McNeill Whistler, published in Boston by L.C. Page for American art readers and collectors, surveys the painter's life, reputation, and major works. The halftone plates reproduce full-length portraits and nocturnes as soft brown-black silhouettes against empty grounds, offering designers standing figures, heavy tonal masses, and faces dissolved into shadow.
