James Whistler
James Whistler was born in 1834 in Massachusetts, the son of a West Point graduate
and civil engineer [1] He moved with his family at the age of nine to St Peterdburg,
Russia, where he studied drawing At age 14, he joined his sister her husband in London to
continue his studies in art A year later, following the death of his father, he returned to
America and lived in Connecticut He attended but flunked out of West Point because of
his inadquacies in chemistry [2] Affronted at what he considered to be America’s poor
treatment of artists, and perhaps because of his academic failure, Whistler moves to Europe
permanently in 1855 at the age of 21 He first lived and studied in Paris, where he was
influenced by Coubet’s Realism and was associated with the avant garde
Whistler moved to London four years later and became known for his outspokenness,
controversy,
expensive lifestyle and frequent debt [3] In 1866 he traveled to Chile, returning to London
a year later By 1879, he was bankrupt, and went to Venice for a year, where be was
commissioned to create a series paintings of the city By the late 1880s he had achieved

movement He hated the narrative, and he refused to teach morals through art He rejected
scenes of ordinary life, preferring to depict
well-designed moments Critics have noted that the placid nature of his paintings was in
sharp contrast to the wildness of his lifestyle One of his more famous works, generally
referred to as “ Whistler's Mother" but which he controversially titled "Arrangement in
Grey and Black, NO 1” places him in the pantheon of American artists It is thus ironic

Question 63: The passage describes a contrast between
A Whistler and his family
B Whistler’s art and another American art
C Whistler’s lifestyle and his paintings
D Whistler’s views and critics’s views
Question 64: Complete the summary by choosing one sentence ( A, B, C or D ) that is
among the most important information to fill in the blank
A Influences on Whistler’s art were many, but perhaps the most important ones were the Pre-Raphaelites and the Realism of Coubet
B Whistler’s work, which places him among the best American painters, reflected the lavish nature of his lifestyle
C Whistler was born in the US But in his youth traveled in Europe, eventually moving there, partly because of America’s poor treatment of artists
D Whistler hated the narrative, and he refused to teach morals through art
SUMMARY: This passage discusses the life and art of James Whistler Whistler was an
