Synopsis
Excerpt from A Reply to an Attack Made by One of Whistler's Biographers on a Pupil of Whistler, Mr. Walter Greaves, and His Works, Vol. 1
When we first came into possession of the pictures which formed our recent Greaves Exhibition, we did not know Mr. Walter Greaves personally, nor were we certain that all the works came from his hand.
For various reasons, however, which have subsequently been fully justified, we decided, in principle, upon holding the exhibition. We therefore sought out Mr. Greaves and, without at first disclosing our intentions, asked him if he would come and inspect a certain number of paintings we held, several of which bore his name. He readily consented, examined them, and told us they were all executed by him, at the same time expressing his pleasure at their satisfactory appearance.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a fascinating episode in the history of art, centered on the heated controversy surrounding the discovery and exhibition of the work of Walter Greaves, a self-proclaimed pupil of the famed artist James McNeill Whistler. The author meticulously chronicles the events leading up to and following the exhibition of Greaves' paintings, highlighting the claims made by Greaves and the subsequent reactions of the art world. The book unravels a captivating story of artistic influence, legacy, and the sometimes-questionable nature of artistic authenticity. The author presents the debate over Greaves' work as a microcosm of broader artistic concerns of the time, such as the impact of Whistler's style on his contemporaries, and the difficulties in establishing artistic lineage and influence. The debate surrounding Greaves' work is particularly intriguing because it highlights the blurred lines between artistic innovation and mimicry, and raises questions about the role of historical context in evaluating artistic merit. This book offers a nuanced exploration of a pivotal moment in art history, providing a compelling glimpse into the complex interplay between artistic influence, critical reception, and the construction of artistic reputations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
