Exhibition On Screen JAMES MCNEILL WHISTLER

<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: medium;">Exhibition On Screen is Coming Back! "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. Boldly experimental and famously witty, Whistler disrupted the strict conventions of Victorian society in pursuit of a new cult of beauty, creating “art for art’s sake” and earning himself a place in the history of great art. He found a parallel between painting and music, and entitled many of his paintings "arrangements", "harmonies" and "nocturnes", emphasizing the importance of tonal harmony in his work. His most famous painting, Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1 (1871), commonly known as Whistler's Mother, is a revered and often parodied portrait of motherhood. It is arguably one of the most famous paintings in history and this film will unveil the artist behind the art."</span><div><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: medium;">Join us along with Dayton Art Institute's Dr. Jerry Smith for this special screening on Sunday, Nov. 1 at 5:00.&nbsp; Tickets are $12.50 each.</span></div><div><font face="Times" size="3">Are you a DAI member?
