P. Willsdon. 520 8 $a This innovative and compelling study reconsiders Whistler's work from the context of his military service and his relationship with nature at the margins. Whistler came from a family of soldiers and engineers; his father, Major George Washington Whistler, was originally a US military engineer. Drawing and mapmaking were important components of the military training that Whistler acquired as an officer cadet at West Point Academy in 1851-4 and subsequently in the Drawing Department at the US Coast and Geodetic Survey, where he attempted to realise his father's hopes that he would make engineering or architecture his profession. These influences in turn shaped Whistler's attitude towards nature, as expressed in works ranging from his celebrated London Nocturnes to his French coastal scenes all of which were created after Whistler moved permanently to Europe in 1855. 600 10 $a Whistler, James McNeill, $d 1834-1903 $v Exhibitions. 600 10 $a Whistler, James McNeill, $d 1834-1903 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Whistler, James McNeill, $d 1834-1903. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00032885 600 17 $a Whistler, James McNeill, $d 1834-1903. $0 (DE-588)118632124 $2 gnd 650 0 $a Nature in art. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002012103 650 7 $a Nature in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01034679 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1424028 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1424028 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 700 1 $a Montfort, Patricia de, $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2003080721 700 1 $a Willsdon, Clare A.
