Pendant ce temps, chez James Abbott McNeill Whistler
La vie entière1885–1888 · Adhésion
Royal Society of British Artists
1 June 1886
President of the Society of British Artists
On 1 June 1886 Whistler was elected president of the Society of British Artists; after his gift to Queen Victoria the Society received royal status. On 4 June 1888, following a rift with the Royal Academy, he was removed from the post and left the Society with 25 supporters.
11 August 1888
Marriage to Beatrice Godwin
On 11 August 1888 Whistler married Beatrice Godwin, the widow of his friend the architect Edward Godwin. The ceremony was held privately for fear of disruption by Maud Franklin; the couple soon left for Paris.
1890
Meeting Charles Freer
In 1890 Whistler met the American industrialist Charles Freer, who became his patron in America and, ultimately, his most important collector.
1891
France Purchases "Whistler's Mother"
In 1891, with the assistance of Stéphane Mallarmé, the painting "Whistler's Mother" was bought by the French government for 4,000 francs — less than an American collector might have paid, but more prestigious in the artist's eyes.
