Description:"Whistler Landscapes and Seascapes reexamines the colorful American artist's all-but-forgotten role as a 'midwife of the birth of abstract painting.' In text that sparkles with the painter's own vivid epigrams, the author documents how Whistler's unorthodox pictorial design and his new vision of space set the stage for geometric abstraction in twentieth century art." --taken from the back of the book.
