 James McNeill Whistler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Whistler's painting The White Girl (1862) caused controversy when exhibited in London and, later, at the Salon des Refusés in Paris.
Whistler's belief that art should concentrate on the arrangement of colors led many critics to see his work as a precursor of abstract art.
The painting epitomises his theory that art should essentially be concerned with the beautiful arrangement of colors in harmony, not with the accurate portrayal of the natural world, as recommended by the critic John Ruskin.

Whistler rejected the high-keyed palette of the impressionists, but his continued interest in the two-dimensional nature of Japanese prints led him, in the early 1870s, to a series of paintings close in spirit to the works of Manet.
Whistler associated himself with that circle of artists espousing the avant-garde theories of the realists.
After Whistler exhibited his painting The White Girl (1862) in the famous Salon des Refusés of 1863 (which coincidentally featured Manet's controversial Le déjeuner sur l'herbe), critics and artists alike began to take notice of his work.

 American Artist -- James Abbott McNeill Whistler
"Whistler's immense graphic talents influenced American style: he led a number of Americans to a new attitude about art, to a new view of etching and lithography, and to a 'new' medium, the pastel.
Economy of means was always important for him, and even his critics recognized that his 'audacity is based on directness and simplicity of color.' American artists had been moving toward the subjective, the expressive, incisive strokes.
And watercolor for Whistler was the most evanescent of mediums: his small sketches are literally impressions, with a few strokes of a wet brush conveying the most delicate moods of nature."
