SOME PRESS OPINIONS

HALDANE MACFALL in =The Academy=.—­“No one who loves the Art of Whistler should be without this handsome book; it contains works of Art of exquisite beauty; it contains a delightful picture of the outward Whistler that the man himself wished to be mistaken for the real thing—­half butterfly, half wasp, wholly laughing enigma.”

=The Observer=.—­“A singularly illuminating and intimate monograph.”

=The Week’s Survey=.—­“Mr. Menpes gives us an extraordinarily vivid account of the technical methods which Whistler employed.  This in itself must make his book a text-book for all time.”

=The Magazine of Art=.—­“It is all wonderfully true to life, obviously sincere and convincing, and vastly entertaining.”

=The Bystander=.—­“One of the most delightful biographical sketches which has appeared for a long time.”

=To-day=.—­“A deeply interesting and an extremely entertaining volume.”

=The Daily News=.—­“A quite miraculous study that, like Shallow, ought to provide the world with laughter for the wearing out of six fashions.  And after that the pictures will still remain a permanent joy.”

A.M.B. in =The King=.—­“By far the most valuable and interesting book on Whistler which has been written, or, indeed, is ever likely to be written.”

=T.P.’s Weekly=.—­“An honest and clear study of the great artist.”

A.C.R.C. in =The Outlook=.—­“It bears the impress of actuality, and is probably the truest chain of living pictures of Whistler’s personality that any ‘follower’ could have made.”

=Dundee Advertiser=.—­“Told in a most fascinating manner.”

=The World=.—­“An extremely interesting and valuable historical document.”

=Truth=.—­“At once a superb and an amazing book—­superb in the number and excellence of its reproductions of Whistler’s work, amazing in its characteristic anecdotes of the Master.”

=The Connoisseur=.—­“The illustrations form an invaluable record of Whistler’s art, and they in themselves make Mr. Menpes’s book a desirable possession.”

=The Studio=.—­“Full of deeply interesting data respecting Whistler’s methods, of real revelation of his remarkable personality, and of pathetic instances of the devotion of his followers.”
