content: Dhanasri Ragini has the emotion of longing for one's absent beloved; the painful feeling (Sanskrit, viraha) is one of the central emotions explored in Indic poetry and music. The musical mode of Dhanasri is often represented as a lady recalling drawing a portrait of her lover. Arranged at her feet are a row of seashells, which artists used for mixing pigments, two bowls for water and two rectangular boxes for holding brushes. The empty in the chamber to the heroine's right emphasizes her lover's absence.

content: A few female artists are known, and the iconography of Dhanasri (as well as several famous episodes in Sanskrit classical literature) indicates that the idea of women drawing was widely imaginable.

content: The planarity of the scene, its deep, rich palette, and its narrow-headed, wide-eyed heroines are elements of painting in the small court of Raghogarh, where artists produced compositions that were often ultimately based upon Mughal compositions. In this painting, the sandstone pavilion, with its star-pattern tile floor, interior niches, voluminous red and green curtain tied up at the ceiling, (as well as the yellow-bordered red canopy shading the heroine) are simpler and more graphic versions of Mughal prototypes.

Gurshuran Sidhu reported that Bharany took all of his paintings out of India before the Emergency (most probably in 1969) and kept them with William Wolff in New York.

content: Whistler's decision to paint London Bridge in a glowing gray and gold palette recalls the expressive images of bridges on the Thames by J.M.W. Turner. Turner's impact upon Whistler remains an issue still ripe for exploration. Whistler had copied Turner's work by 1855, and he probably viewed the exhibition of Turner's paintings at the National Gallery in London in 1857. However, standard biographies tell us that Whistler "reviled" Turner. Whistler complained that "neither Turner nor Ruskin had the brains to carry on tradition." Turner's art was championed by the art critic John Ruskin, who later became Whistler's adversary in the famous libel suit. This connection may well have something to do with the negative verbiage on Turner that Whistler left behind. However, some of Turner's titles, like Shade and Darkness or Light and Color seem to presage Whistler's aesthetic concerns and watercolors like London Bridge offer visual evidence that Whistler did not revile Turner completely.

content: From 1920

content: Notes:

content: [1] See Original Whistler List, Paintings, pg. 20A, Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery Archives. Thomas Way Sr. and his son, Thomas Robert Way, were lithographers who worked closely with Whistler on several of his projects. They helped with the printing of his etchings, as well as the printing of Whistler’s promotional materials. Both Thomas Way Sr. and Thomas Robert Way owned many Whistler works. Thomas Way Sr. acquired several of these works at the time of Whistler’s bankruptcy, and he passed some of them on to his son (see The Correspondence of James McNeill Whistler, 1855-1903, ed. Margaret F. MacDonald, Patricia de Montfort and Nigel Thorp, On-line Edition, People, biographies of Thomas Way and Thomas Robert Way; http://www.whistler.arts.gla.ac.uk/correspondence).

content: Charles Lang Freer acquired many Whistler pieces from the Ways. However, museum records do not always specify whether it was the younger or elder Way who was the source of a particular object. Further, archival sources indicate that the junior Way sometimes acted on behalf of his father: whilst negotiating the sale of his own Whistler works to C.L. Freer, he would concurrently negotiate the sale of some of his father’s Whistler works to Freer. In cases where it is unclear whether it was the junior or senior Way who actually owned a piece acquired by C.L. Freer, the provenance record will simply state that the object was purchased from “Thomas Way Sr. or Thomas Robert Way.”
