James McNeill Whistler

Whistler signed his paintings with a stylized butterfly that had a long stinger for a tail. Born in Lowell, Massachusetts, he went to Paris to study art in 1855 and later made London his home. He gave many pictures musical titles like nocturnes and arrangements, and he painted the Thames at night with thinned paint and lightly flicked colour. His most famous painting is Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1, usually called Whistler's Mother, and the French government bought it. He died in London in 1903.
