Whistler's Views on the Restoration and Display of His Paintings

Abstract

James McNeill Whistler's correspondence and contemporary documentation provide detailed commentary on his preference for recently cleaned and varnished paintings with an even sheen and his interest in achieving overall harmony among exhibited paintings, frames, wall coloring and surrounding works. Knowledge of these views is helpful to conservators who must treat works by Whistler or his followers.
