- JAMES MC NEIL WHISTLER PLAQUE BY VD
JAMES MC NEIL WHISTLER PLAQUE BY VD BRENNER VD Brenner - 1905 James McNeil Whistler plaque in bronze Obverse has Whistler standing with hands on hips (and an interesting loose strand of hair flipped up) and Reverse has a posing peacock with the French greeting "Messieurs Les Ennemis" (Gentleman, the enemies). Whistler was apparently hyper-sensitive to criticism and once sued a critic. Peacocks were often a subject of Whistler as seen in his Peacock Room at the Smithsonian. Whistler had been contracted to lightly change the room so that it complimented Whistler?s painting ?The Princess from the Land of Porcelain.? Whistler completely re-did the room in gold and blue peacocks which stunned the owner, Frederick Leyland who then did not pay him and eventually it caused Whistler to go bankrupt. He then painted a portrait of Leyland as a Peacock/Human playing a piano surrounded by money bags. Apparently it was not good to be on Whistler's bad side
