Review:
The artist James Abbot McNeill Whistler's portrait of the poet and dandy Robert de Montesquiou held a nine year friendship, from their initial meeting in 1885 to the first public exhibition of Whistler's portrait of Montesquiou in 1894. This portrait, Arrangement in Black and Gold: Comte Robert de Montesquiou is a masterpiece of Whistler's unique symbolist-inspired style. Drawing upon a wealth of previously unpublished archival material and correspondence (accompanied by a dazzling array of paintings, drawings, and engravings) Edgar Munhall uses this remarkable work as a starting point for exploring the development of Whistler's art, and in the process paints a delightful and fascinating portrait of the extraordinarily creative and sometimes bizarre avant-garde world of fin-de-siecle Paris and London. -- Midwest Book Review
