Whistler's Mother - - art. One of the best-known paintings by American artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Arrangement in Black and Grey No. 1: The Artist's Mother (1871, Musée d'Orsay, Paris, France), known more simply as Whistler's Mother, demonstrates his characteristic style and reveals his European influences. Whistler lived in Europe for most of his life and incorporated many impressionist techniques into his work. In Whistler's Mother, for example, he used monochromatic colors in the stark representation of his mother--a style similar to the unglorified portrait paintings of French impressionist painter Edgar Degas. In addition, the two-dimensional format of the composition recalls the similar flattened style of the works of French impressionist painter Claude Monet. Giraudon/Art Resource, NY
