This is the first major European exhibition of Whistler’s work in 30 years and will be a wonderful opportunity to enjoy and study every branch of Whistler’s ground-breaking work, encompassing his highly innovative portraits, exquisite landscapes, as well as his drawings, and prints. His career ranged from his early life in St. Petersburg to his time in Paris and then his controversial and revolutionary work in London, beside the Thames. Much of his work is familiar but the exhibition will also include examples, which have not often or even ever been seen. The exhibition will include exquisite portraits, his technically novel landscapes, his drawings, prints, and designs.
