An arrangement of the works of James A. McNeill Whistler from the collection of Mr. Richard Canfield of Providence, R.I
This 1909 catalogue from the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy reproduces works by American painter James McNeill Whistler from Richard Canfield's private collection in Providence, Rhode Island, for an exhibition audience. The plates are soft grey halftone reproductions of tonal paintings, one a figure in flowing pale drapery labelled as a dance study, one a framed interior with a sprig of blossom at its edge. Designers can take from them a restrained palette of greys, muted greens and a loose, airy handling of figure and empty space.
