Gallatin, A. E. Whistler’s art dicta and other essays. $3.50. Goodspeed.
A collection of five essays which originally appeared in the International studio, the Lamp, the Critic, the Weekly critical review of Paris, and the Literary collector. The title essay deals with Whistler’s “Gentle art of making enemies,” “Aubrey Beardsley: man of letters,” contains a review of his last writings as found in “Under the hill, and other essays in prose and verse,” (John Lane). “Notes on three hitherto unpublished drawings by Beardsley,” describes three unfinished sketches here reproduced, a border design for Mallory’s “Le morte d’Arthur.” The closing papers are “Whistler’s realism” and “Whistler’s memorial exhibition,” in Boston, February and March, 1904.
“The volume has little interest but for those already much interested in Whistler and his work.”

“The title of this little volume is somewhat misleading, and its price out of proportion to its value.”

“This exquisite volume will be a valuable keepsake to those who admire Whistler. It is remarkable, first, because of its superb print, secondly, because of some remarkable facsimiles, and, thirdly, because of a criticism which may well be a vade mecum to those who would better understand Whistler—to those who have thought him an impressionist, for instance.”
