EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases James Abbott McNeill Whistler's masterpiece, "Variations in Flesh Colour and Green, The Balcony". Painted between 1870-79 on a wood panel, this oil painting measures 61.4x48.8 cm and is housed at the Freer Gallery of Art in the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. In this artwork, Whistler invites us to witness an intimate moment as his models recline on his balcony, gazing out at the factories of Battersea gradually disappearing into London's misty fog. The contrast between their ethereal beauty and the industrial backdrop creates a striking visual juxtaposition. The women are adorned in stunning oriental costumes, with vibrant green hues that pop against the soft pastel background of azaleas. Resting leisurely amidst flower-filled verandah blinds, they exude a sense of tranquility and grace. Whistler skillfully captures not only their physical forms but also their inner essence through delicate brushstrokes and subtle variations in flesh tones. The composition draws our attention to both the serene horizon beyond and the intricate details within each figure. As we observe this mesmerizing scene from North America's perspective, we can appreciate Whistler's ability to capture beauty amidst urbanization. This painting serves as a testament to his artistic prowess while offering us a glimpse into late 19th-century London life – where industry meets elegance and nature intertwines with human existence.
