The Notes are All There

Symphony in White No. 3, James Abbott McNeill Whistler
"Nature contains all the elements, in colour and form, of all pictures, as the keyboard contains the notes of all music.  But the artist is born to pick and choose and group with science, the elements, that the result may be beautiful." -JAM Whistler, "The Ten O'Clock Lecture 1885"
