James McNeill Whistler
A 1905 monograph on the American painter James McNeill Whistler, published in New York by C. Scribner's Sons and written by Hans Wolfgang Singer for a general art audience, reproducing his paintings and drawings as halftone plates. The four pictures shown are a tonal portrait of a young girl, a seated chalk study of a nude figure, a full-length woman in a kimono beside a folding screen, and a sketch of a bridge with its drawing turned sideways on the page, so a designer can take from them a restrained palette of greys, creams and muted browns and the soft, loose handling of Whistler's tonal portraiture and figure work.
