Filthy Lucre: The Story of Whistler’s Peacock Room | Odd Salon MUTINY

"…From a business point of view, money is all important, but for the artist the work alone remains the fact. That it happened in the house of this one or that one is merely the anecdote."
- James McNeill Whistler

Most of us would be honored and delighted to have a room designed by one of the most famous artists of his generation... but sometimes, as it turns out, artists can be difficult to work with..... and clients, well clients sometimes lack the *vision* necessary to embrace a wild-peacock festooned gilded menagerie of a dining room.
