Abstract

James McNeill Whistler was a key figure in the European art world of the 19th century. Influenced by the French Realists, the Dutch, Venetian and Japanese masters Whistler's prints are sublime visions of people and the places they inhabit.

The exhibition consists of 100 works from the National Gallery of Australia's rich Whistler print collection. [Gallery media, 2005].
