The Woman in White: Joanna Hiffernan and James McNeill Whistler
Published on August 12, 2022
Joanna Hiffernan’s close professional and personal relationship with artist James McNeill Whistler lasted more than two decades—yet who was she? She is featured in numerous works by Whistler, including his three famous “Symphony in White” paintings, which are being shown together for the first time in the United States.
While the intriguing “woman in white” has inspired artists from the Victorian era to today, little has been shared about Hiffernan and her influential role in Whistler’s life and work—until now.
On view from July 3 - October 10, 2022 at the National Gallery of Art, 6th St and Constitution Ave NW, Washington DC.
