content: Freer Gallery of Art, gift of Charles Lang Freer in 1920 [3]

content: Notes:

content: [1] See Original Whistler List, Etchings, 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.”

content: The bosatsu (bodhisattva) Jizo is one of the most easily recognized figures in Japanese Buddhist iconography. The young, demure, shaven-pate monk was revered as a manifestation of the Buddha's concern and compassion for children, warriors, travelers, women in childbirth, and those suffering in hell. In the period of social chaos and warfare that swept through Japan in the late twelfth century and again in the fourteenth century, the cult of Jizo expanded widely, and his image can be observed in a variety of settings in both painting and sculpture.

content: In this image Jizo presides over the assembly of the Ten Kings of Hell. This panel of judges (a concept imported from China--thus the robes of Chinese jurisprudence) meted out penalties to those condemned to hell. Here the dominant figure of Jizo seems to remind the judges to temper their rulings with mercy and to always be aware of the Buddha's pervasive compassion.

content: [1] See Original Whistler List, Lithographs, Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery Archives.

content: 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.”

content: When Freer purchased this drawing of a statuesque figure, he noted that the seller thought the subject was Niobe. The drawing has carried the title Annabel Lee since 1905. Both subjects are associated with the sense of death. Niobe was the daughter of Tantalus; she was turned to stone while bewailing the loss of her children. Annabel Lee, who probably symbolized Edgar Allan Poe's young wife, also is lost:

content: For the moon never beams, with out bringing me dreams

content: of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

content: And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes

content: of the beautiful Annabel Lee:

content: And so, all the night tide, I lie down by the side

content: Of my darling-my darling-my life and my bride,

content: in her sepulchre there by the sea-

content: in her tomb by the sounding sea.

content: The figure itself has marked affinities with the neoclassical works of Albert Moore. Like Degas's ballet dancers, Whistler's draped models continue to reappear, slightly varied and invested with new meaning. This figure has been generated from the woman in Variation in Blue and Green (F1903.178) and follows a similar color scheme. A shimmering inverted rainbow of blue and green gauze hangs behind the figure, separating the viewer from the space she occupies. Whistler's butterfly and a single violet iris balance the composition. With her head cast down and her back turned to us, the figure is as inaccessible and melancholy as she is beautiful. Whether the subject is Niobe or Annabel Lee is probably less important than our recognition of the painter's poetry: "The amazing invention that shall have put form and colour into such perfect harmony, that exquisiteness is the result."

content: The Japanese word tai (sea bream) is also an element of the word medetai, which means auspicious or fortunate. Tai is prized for its flavor and as a food signifying good fortune for the New Year, weddings, and other celebrations. Here, the painter Ogawa Ritsuo, who was skilled in the decoration of lacquer, presented the tai on a bed of bamboo, a plant that symbolizes longevity. The tai exhibits meticulous details and unusual coloration in its scales. Ritsuo’s inclusion of gold behind the silk creates unusual iridescent effects that utilize the technical knowledge and precision he developed from his experience in maki-e, the practice of applying metal powders and gold leaf to lacquerware for decoration. According to the inscription to the right, Ritsuo painted this intriguing still life in his seventy-sixth year.
