Throughout his career, James McNeill Whistler (1834–1903) made drawings using pastel crayons. His early drawings (1860s–70s) were often studies for oil paintings, but from the late 1870s he started to use pastel to produce completed works in their own right.
The drawings displayed in this exhibition have all been studied and examined as part of the Whistler Pastels Project (September 2022–June 2024). The aim of the research project was to better understand the artist’s methodology and materials.
The Project revealed much about the materials and methods used by Whistler in his drawings. However, many questions remain.
