Exhibition on Screen
In an era of great change and great beauty emerged the character of James McNeill Whistler.
Considered by some to be one of the great innovators of 19th century art, he was a contemporary of the Impressionists, much admired by Van Gogh and Manet. His most famous painting, ‘Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1’, commonly known as ‘Whistler’s Mother’, is a revered portrait of motherhood. It is arguably one of the most famous paintings in history and this film will unveil the artist behind the art. Tate Britain is now holding the first major retrospective of Whistler in three decades. This blockbuster exhibition brought to life in this documentary, promises to reawaken the world to just how important Whistler is to art history, uniting world-famous masterpieces with rarely seen works.
