Painter
James McNeill Whistler
Sued Ruskin for saying he had flung a pot of paint in the public's face, won a farthing in damages, and was bankrupted by the costs.
James Abbott McNeill Whistler was an American painter in oils and watercolor, and printmaker, based primarily in the United Kingdom. He eschewed sentimentality and moral allusion in painting and was a leading proponent of the credo "art for art's sake".
