For renowned artist James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), watercolor was the medium through which he reinvented himself in the 1880s and painted his way into posterity. No one was more smitten with Whistler and his works than Gilded Age industrialist Charles Lang Freer, who amassed the world's largest collection of watercolors by the artist and included them in his bequest to the Smithsonian in 1906. Freer's collection comprises more than fifty examples of Whistler's watercolors, yet these works have never left the confines of the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. This landmark book takes a fresh look at the exhibition and reception of Whistler's watercolors in Britain and the United States and provides a new scientific analysis of his materials and techniques, from the papers he used to the pigments he chose. In the 1880s, James McNeill Whistler (1834–1903) reinvented himself through the medium of watercolor. At the time, excellence in watercolor was most often associated with British artists, and most notably with the work of J. M. W. Turner (1775–1851). Whistler’s embrace of watercolor allowed the expatriate artist to present himself as an heir to the great Turner, while at the same time creating easily portable works that could supply an American market and, the artist hoped, help secure his art-historical legacy in his home country. Indeed, it was the American Gilded Age industrialist Charles Lang Freer who would amass the largest collection of Whistler’s watercolors, eventually bequeathing them to the Smithsonian in 1906.This publication is the first systematic study of Freer’s amazing treasure trove of more than 50 watercolors by Whistler and includes figures, landscapes, nocturnes, and interiors. Providing both an art-historical context that looks into the contemporary reception of the works, as well as rigorous scientific analysis of Whistler’s materials and techniques, this volume offers a groundbreaking look into an overlooked segment of the celebrated artist’s oeuvre

"In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, American artists flocked to France in search of instruction, critical acclaim, and patronage. Some, including James McNeill Whistler, John Singer Sargent, and Mary Cassatt, became highly regarded in the French press, advancing their careers on both sides of the Atlantic. Others, notably William Merritt Chase, John Twachtman, Childe Hassam, and Thomas Wilmer Dewing, part of the association known as The Ten, found success working in the style of the French Impressionists, while Henry Ossawa Tanner, Cecilia Beaux, and Elizabeth Jane Gardner focused on genre and history subjects. This richly illustrated volume offers a sophisticated examination of cultural and aesthetic exchange as it highlights many figures, including artists of color and women, who were left out of previous histories. Celebrated scholars from both American and French institutions detail the complex history and diverse styles of these expatriate artists, styles ranging from conservative academic modes to Tonalism, and provide original perspectives on this fertile period of creativity, expanding our understanding of what constitutes American art."--Provided by publisher.

La représentation de l’enfance accompagne l’histoire de la peinture depuis le Moyen Âge. Des tableaux d’église aux tableaux de Salon, les artistes ont brossé tous les visages de l’enfance : enfants divins de la peinture religieuse ou mythologique, petits princes de l’art de cour, anges du foyer de la peinture de genre, enfant modèle du portrait de famille, sans compter tous les irréguliers de l’enfance qui n’ont pas moins intéressé les artistes, petits gueux et petits bâtards, enfants surnaturels ou démoniaques, cancres et révoltés. Cette place dévolue à l’enfance conduit à s’interroger sur les fonctions mêmes de la peinture, sur son évolution du sacré au profane et du profane à l’intime, sur son implication dans la formation des identités sexuelles et dans les pratiques éducatives, sur sa quête de naïveté primitive. Figure incontournable de la peinture, l’enfant est une grande question pour l’histoire de l’art. À travers plus de 130 artistes, du XIVe siècle à nos jours, une étude sans précédent sur le sujet.
