James McNeill Whistler’s first serious attempts with lithography date from 1878 and 1879 when he worked under the encouragement of Thomas Way (1837-1915) and his son, Thomas Robert Way (1861-1913), then the leading London lithographic printers. At this time he created seventeen original lithographs and then departed for Venice. Whistler returned to the medium in 1887 and devoted much of his artistic efforts to lithography until his death. In total, Whistler created 196 original lithographs during his career. |
