Whistler Circles- James McNeil Whistler (1834-1903) was a gifted painter and forceful spokesman for artistic reform in the 19th century. Also a consummate printmaker, he created subtle and original images in etching and lithography. Whistler Circles celebrates the artist's influence and achievements by presenting prints by Whistler, and by the American, English and European artists in his artistic orbit. This exhibition will be curated by a team of Carleton students over winter term, in collaboration with Laurel Bradley, Director of Exhibitions.
