Art is a journey into the most unknown thing of all - oneself. Nobody knows his own frontiers… I don’t think I’d ever want to take a road if I knew where it led.

Louis Kahan
James Abbott McNeill Whistler (American, 1834–1903). Early Morning, 1878. Lithograph (lithotint) on cream, moderately thick, smooth paper. Brooklyn Museum, Gift of the Rembrandt Club, 15.374 In this image of London’s Battersea district across the Thames, the asymmetrical composition and emphasis on the misty atmospheric effects of early light reveal the artist’s debt to Japanese art, transforming the urban industrial landscape into a thing of poetic beauty. http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/japonisme/whistler.php
