Whistler, the Graphic Work

Excerpt from The Gentle Art of Making Enemies A most curiously well-concocted piratical scheme to publish, without his knowledge or consent, a complete collection of Mr. Whistler's writings, letters, pamphlets, lectures, &c., has been nipped in the bud on the very eve of its accomplishment. It appears that the book was actually in type and ready for issue, but the plan was to bring out the work simultaneously in England and America. This caused delay, the plates having to be shipped to New York, and the strain of secrecy upon the conspirators during the interval would seem to have been too great. In any case Indications of surrounding mystery quite sufficient to arouse Mr. Whistler's attention, brought about his rapid action. Messrs. Lewis and Lewis were instructed to take out immediate injunction against the publication in both England and America, and this information, at once cabled across, warning all publishers in the United States, exploded the plot, effectually frustrating the elaborate machinations of those engaged in it.

Mr. Whistler's "Ten O'clock".

'Whistler on Art' brings together a selection of his letters, interviews and other writings, many previously unpublished. In letters to other artists, family, and patrons, Whistler discusses his principles of composition, the rights of dealers and owners, and his celebrated libel suit against John Ruskin.

Oils, Water Colors, Pastels & Drawings, by James McNeill Whistler

Described by Whistler himself as a highly entertaining account of personal revenges, this work is filled with the deadly sarcasm and stinging remarks of one of the wittiest men of the 19th century. The great artist deflates Wilde, Ruskin, Swinburne, and inane critics and discusses the aesthetics of the Impressionist.
