Arrangement in Grey and Black: Portrait of the Painter's Mother
(a.k.a. Whistler's Mother)
James A.M. Whistler
Oil on canvas, 1871
No one is really sure why this painting is as famous as it is (least of all the French). Possibly
because it is by an American, or because it is so stark compared with other Impressionist works.
