Arrangement in Grey and Black: The Artist's Mother, 1871
Oil on Canvas
James Abbott McNeill Whistler (July 10, 1834 — July 17, 1903), American
The Arrangement in Grey series by Whistler has always intrigued me. A master of tonal nuances, his work has inspired a number of monochromatic "studies", if you will, within my wardrobe which is a guiding force in my personal style aesthetic. The cultural significance of the above painting is evident in its nickname and often parodied composition yet the true genius is in the palette. I believe the same can be said for any great outfit.
