Sobre este artículo
New York: John. W. Lovell Co., 1890. First Edition. Large 8vo, publisher's original cloth backed paper over boards, the spine panel and upper cover lettered and decorated in gilt. [xvi], 292 pp. A very good copy, a bit rubbed and with a bit of loosening to one of the prelims, a bit of rubbing to the corners and tips. FIRST EDITION. "The book was in part a response to, in part a transcript of, Whistler's famous libel suit against critic John Ruskin. Ruskin, in a review of the inaugural showing at the Grosvenor Gallery, had referred to Whistler's painting Nocturne in Black and Gold – The Falling Rocket as "flinging a pot of paint in the public's face". The book contains Whistler's letters to newspapers chronicling his many petty grievances against various acquaintances and friends, and it contains his famous 1885 lecture, "Ten O'Clock", explaining "the meaning and purpose of art".
Whistler biographer Stanley Weintraub suggests the book was controversial enough that Whistler might have been better known for it than for his art at the time of his death." wiki
