Whistler's Arrangement in Black and Gold: Comte Robert de Montesquiou-Fezensac

[genevievehannon]

The famous Whistler collection of my Great Grandfather, Richard A. Canfield, was second only in this country to that of Charles L. Freer of Detroit. It was purchased by M. Knoedler Co. in 1914 and included all of Richard's Whistlers - oils, water colors, pastels, pen and ink and pencil drawings - but not the portrait of Richard himself. Whistler and Richard were very close friends. Whistler's last work was of my Great Grandfather Richard, whom he called teasingly and lovingly, "His Reverence".

Perfect and enlightening presentation.

So much to be learned in examining the significance of this seminal painting of the late 19th century. Again, Edgar Munhall's eloquence achieves the perfect pitch to tell the story of Whistler and Montesquie.

Edgar Munhall once again sets a standard for scholarship and authenticity

that is rare. With a tremendous gift for concise communication and candor that is always enlightening. What a treasure!

I look forward to more presentations.

Merci Beaucoup ,Mr. Munhall for the marvelously succinct (and at the same time very detailed) lecture on Whistler's Arrangement in Black and Gold.
