Book Description
A biography of James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) that dispels the popular notion of Whistler as merely a combative, eccentric and unrelenting publicity seeker, a man as renowned for his public feuds with Oscar Wilde and John Ruskin as for the iconic portrait of his mother.

A shabby gate leads into a shabby lane backed by a group of studios, of which his was one. Here Lady Archibald Campbell, M. Duret, and other sitters followed, and new portraits were begun. He was living at the time with Maud in a little house close by which he called the Pink Palace, the outside of which he painted himself. Two shops have taken its place. But soon he moved to the Vale, Chelsea? an amazing place, he said; you might be in the heart of the country, and there, two steps away, is the King's Road; the house is the first on the right after you go through the iron gates.
