Great Art Wednesday:
James McNeill Whistler

Wednesday, October 21 at 11am and 2pm in the Anderson Studio

Running Time: 90 minutes

A new release from Exhibition on Screen, directed by David Bickerstaff (Vermeer: The Greatest Exhibition, Turner & Constable).

The first major Whistler retrospective in three decades, captured on screen for everyone who couldn't make it to London.

Earlier this year, Tate Britain mounted the first major retrospective of James McNeill Whistler's work in three decades, pairing world-famous paintings with pieces rarely seen in public. Exhibition on Screen filmed the exhibition, bringing those works and the story behind them to movie screens around the world.

Whistler spent most of his career in London and Paris, but his restless approach to color, composition, and self-promotion left its mark on American art for generations after him. This film is a chance to get to know a painter whose influence outran his fame.
