to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 55 to 64. James Whistler

James Whistler was born in 1834 in Massachusetts, the son of a West Point graduate and civil engineer.

A year later, following the death of his father, he returned to America and lived in Connecticut. He attended but flunked out of West Point because of his inadquacies in chemistrỵ [2] Affronted at what he considered to be America’s poor treatment of artists, and perhaps because of his academic failure, Whistler moves to Europe permanently in 1855 at the age of 21. He first lived and studied in Paris, where he was influenced by Coubet’s Realism and was associated with the avant gardẹ

Whistler moved to London four years later and became known for his outspokenness, controversy,

expensive lifestyle and frequent debt. [3] In 1866 he traveled to Chile, returning to London a year later.
