James whistler
history was one of the most influential apostles of this gospel outside France was the American James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903). One of whistlers most famous paintings and perhaps one of the most popular paintings made, is the portrait of his mother.
 It is characteristic that the title under which whistler exhibited this painting in 1872 was 'arrangement in grey and black'. Actually the harmony of forms and colours at which he aimed is in no contradiction with the feeling of the subject-matter. It is the careful balance of simple forms that gives the picture its restful quality, and the subdued tones of its 'grey and black', ranging from the lady's hair and dress to the wall and setting enhance the expression of resigned loneliness which gives the painting its wide appeal.Email us even if its just for a chat We reply to you today.
