Ten O'Clock is a book written by James McNeill Whistler, an American artist who spent most of his career in the United Kingdom. The book is a collection of ten essays that were originally delivered as lectures at the London Institution in 1885. The essays cover a variety of topics related to art and aesthetics, including the importance of color harmony, the role of the artist in society, and the value of art for its own sake. Whistler also shares his thoughts on the state of art in his time, criticizing the academic tradition and advocating for a more modern approach to painting.Throughout the book, Whistler's distinctive voice and wit are on full display, as he offers his opinions on everything from the proper way to hang a painting to the meaning of beauty itself. The essays are accompanied by illustrations of Whistler's own artwork, including some of his most famous works such as Nocturne in Black and Gold and Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1 (also known as Whistler's Mother).Overall, Ten O'Clock is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the most influential artists of the late 19th century, and a must-read for anyone interested in the history of art and aesthetics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
