{"product_id":"whistler","title":"Whistler","description":"An introduction to the work of American artist, James Whistler (1834-1903), one of the most original artists of the late nineteenth century. Flamboyant dandy and ebullient publicist, friend of Oscar Wilde, Whistler was also a meticulous craftsman dedicated to the perfection of his art. Whistler was born in America but trained in Paris. He began as a realist painter but gradually developed a startlingly original method of composition, refining his technique to the barest essentials. He was one of the first to argue that the abstract ingredients of a painting - the lines, shapes, colors and tones - could in themselves be the subject; he entitled the portrait of his mother \"Arrangement in Grey and Black\". This book provides a survey of carefully selected works, illustrated with 48 full-page color plates and accompanying notes","brand":"OUATB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48493664272639,"sku":"*R0104483*","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0487\/5550\/7364\/files\/16959903482430.jpg?v=1778169941","url":"https:\/\/shop.onceuponatimebooks.com\/products\/whistler","provider":"Once Upon a Time Books AR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
