James Abbott McNeill Whistler has gone down in history as the epitome of a singular, rebellious, and influential artist. From the late 1870s, his work achieved considerable international success, and the painter continually surrounded himself with young artists to perpetuate the originality of his aesthetic choices. For the first time in France, a major exhibition unveils "Whistlerism," an artistic movement contemporary with Impressionism and yet still little studied.
Accompanying the exhibition James Abbott McNeill Whistler: The Butterfly Effect held at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen in 2024, this book takes us from Scotland to Poland, from the Normandy coast to the Parisian salons, to introduce us, thanks to the valuable contributions of leading international specialists on Whistler and his followers, to artists sometimes little known in France. And because Whistlerism continued long after the artist's death, this catalog examines his legacy even in the American abstract movement of the mid-20th century, while opening up to the fields of poetry, art criticism, photography, and cinema.
