Additional text

“A refreshingly direct and jargon-free study by a young scholar illuminating the experiences of Whistler, Legros, and Fantin-Latour as young painters, fashioning themselves as the Société des trois, who together navigated the Paris and London art worlds of the 1850s and '60s while transitioning from students to professional artists.”
