Whistler
Whistler is a 1917 art monograph by critic Théodore Duret, published in London and Philadelphia, for readers interested in the American painter James McNeill Whistler. Its plates reproduce his paintings and etchings in tonal grey halftone, with portraits of seated figures in dark interiors and sketchy street scenes of Venice and London. A designer might take its restrained palette of greys, quiet domestic compositions, and loose etched linework for muted, atmospheric layouts.
