content: The Angry Sea is one of the sparest and most abstract of Whistler's small oils. When Whistler exhibited it at the Dowdeswells' gallery in 1884, unsympathetic reviewers complained that paintings like this were mere daubs, dismissing such efforts as unfinished sketches not fit for public display. The fashion writer for the Court Circular damned The Angry Sea with ironic praise, noting that "this wonderful artist uses frames of greenish gold wherever the picture requires such a setting. A strip of angry grey-green sea, framed in green gold, against dull pink background [the color of the gallery walls] is an exquisite arrangement of colour."

content: Ceremonial implement of the type kuei [gui 圭]; short narrow form with beveled end and perforated handle; mottled dark olive brown, reddish brown, olive green, and orange; decoration: in sensible relief and channeled, a demon head on one side, a spread eagle on reverse, triple grooves across handle; dull luster.

label: Label

content: Prolonged handling or aggressive cleaning long ago probably wore away the fine thread relief decoration of a human face on the front and a heraldic bird in profile on the reverse of this gui. These motifs and their rendering link this chisel to the late phase of the Longshan culture.

content: Notes:

content: [1] See “Listing of Objects offered to the FGA by Mr. John Hadley Cox,” September 12, 1991, copy in object file.

content: John Hadley Cox (1913-2005) was an educator and a collector of Chinese archaeological ceramic, pottery, and bronze vessels, predominantly from the Changsha region of Hunan Province in South Central China. Upon graduating from Yale University in 1935 (B.A.), he spent two years teaching at Yale University's Yale-in-China program in Changsha. Whilst in China, he amassed his collection of ceramics and other materials from active archaeological sites in the region. During World War II, Cox served as an officer in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) (now the CIA), and he was sent to Shanghai in 1945 to collect counterintelligence. Cox was also a fellow of the Harvard-Yenching Institute of Far Eastern Studies, an Assistant Professor of Fine Arts at the University of Michigan, and a linguistics professor at Georgetown University. In 1991, Cox donated 106 potsherds of Thai, Cambodian, Vietnamese, and Chinese origin to the Freer Gallery Study Collection. Cox also left numerous items of his collection to the art gallery of his alma mater.

content: As an object of veneration, Guanyin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, is shown with emblems of divine power: visible hands engaged in curative action and bare upturned feet folded in the lotus position.

content: Although sometimes described as a woman, Guanyin originally had no gender, combining both male and female elements. The deity holds a purple water vase shaped like a lotus bud, and from its drops holy water from a willow branch. Wavelike patterns emanates from the center of the body and flow around its edges. Floriated emblems featuring lotuses decorate the robe, the colors of which are somber and deep. The lotus symbolizes Shakyamuni Buddha, who is also depicted in miniature in Guanyin's hood.

content: James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903)

content: During a visit to Brussels in September 1887, Whistler sought out appealing subjects in the working-class quarters of Les Marolles, a historic district dating back to the Middle Ages. The shops Whistler etched on Little Butter Street are built against the south walls of the church of St. Nicholas. By cropping out the church, which towers above the buildings in the scene, Whistler aligned this rare image, one of only three recorded, with other close-up shop fronts he encountered in Britain, France, and elsewhere.
