520 1 |a "When Sarah Walden was asked to restore the painting of the 'Mother' for the Louvre she became fascinated by the crisis in the artist's life that inspired it. Few of the myths surrounding the picture and its sitter, she discovered, turned out to be true. Anna Whistler, devoted to her son Jemie, was not a stern authority figure; she defined her son's relationship with women. As Whistler was obsessively secretive about the picture, the story of its creation had to be teased from many different sources. In Whistler and His Mother Sarah Walden has done far more than capture an exceptional mother-son relationship; her detective-like findings weave biography, history and aesthetics into a seamless whole."--Jacket.
