Nocturnes is the term James McNeill Whistler applied to his nearly abstract moonlit landscapes. Over the course of his career, he has explored the urban darkness in London, Venice and Amsterdam through the use of lithography, watercolor, and above all, etching to document and transform the texture of night. The works in this exhibition focus mainly on works on paper.
