title: Whistler and His Mother: An Unexpected Relationship: Secrets of an American Masterpiece
author:  Sarah Walden 
description: Walden restored Whistler's painting <i>Arrangement in Grey and Black</i>, and she's got some issues with the artist. Not with his life, nor with the women who managed it, including his mother, nor with his grand philosophizing about art, which Walden dismisses as "confused and confusing." No, Walden is chagrined that in his greatest painting, Whistler botched the technique. He ground the grains in the black pigments too finely and applied the paint too thinly. Result: Whistler's aged mother is aging far faster than normal, and the painting will never be restored to its original condition. Walden's lament, however, is more commiserative than pejorative, for in addition to recounting the painting's physical problems, she tells us how Whistler came to paint it--he conceived it fairly spontaneously, using his mom as a substitute when a model failed to show up. A fascinating, easily read account of an icon. <i>Gilbert Taylor</i><br /><i>Copyright  American Library Association. All rights reserved</i>
