Film: James McNeill Whistler
Wednesday, September 16, 2026 | 2:00 PM
Tickets: $18.00 | Members: $15.00

You know his mother's portrait. Now meet the man behind it. James McNeill Whistler was a bold, witty disruptor who rewrote the rules of Victorian art, earning admiration from Van Gogh and Manet along the way. This new film, timed to Tate Britain's first Whistler retrospective in three decades, unites world famous masterpieces with rarely seen works to reveal the artist behind Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1, better known as Whistler's Mother.

Check out the upcoming schedule: morrismuseum.org/live-arts

Artwork caption: James McNeill Whistler (American, 1834–1903). "Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1" (detail), 1871. Oil on canvas. Image courtesy of Musée d’Orsay, Paris.
