Sinossi
Excerpt from Ten O'clock: A Lecture
It was a grey, stormy summer day, and as the clergyman said the last prayers, and the coffin was lowered, the thick London atmosphere wrapped the green enclosure in the magic and mystery that Whistler was the first to see and to reveal. The grave was made by the Side of his Wife under a wall covered with clematis. A low railing, like the trellis in the garden at the Rue du Bac, with flowers growing over it, Shuts in the little unmarked plot of ground Where Whistler, the greatest artist and most striking personality of the nineteenth century, lies at rest in a remote corner of the London he loved, not far from the house, and nearer the grave, of Hogarth, who had been to him the greatest English master from the days Of his boyhood in St. Petersburg.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and artistic philosophy of a renowned 19th-century artist, exploring his unique perspective on art, beauty, and the role of the artist in society. Set against the backdrop of the Victorian era's aesthetic movements and artistic debates, the book provides a fascinating glimpse into the artist's thoughts on various subjects, including the relationship between art and nature, the influence of the "amateur" and the "dilettante" on art appreciation, and the timeless pursuit of beauty. The author passionately argues for art's autonomy, asserting that it exists independently of social progress or moral agendas. He challenges conventional notions of artistic periods and art-loving nations, contending that art is a universal and timeless phenomenon, driven by the individual artist's pursuit of the beautiful. The book critiques the misguided attempts to democratize art or make it serve utilitarian purposes, emphasizing the artist's unique role as a creator and interpreter of beauty. Through witty observations and insightful critiques of contemporary artistic trends, this book offers a thought-provoking exploration of art's essence and purpose. It champions the artist's individuality and celebrates the pursuit of beauty as a noble and enduring endeavor, leaving readers with a deeper appreciation for the transformative power of art.
