Sentence
He
[James
Abbott
McNeill
Whistler]
was
then
asked
for
his
definition
of
a
Nocturne:
“I
have
perhaps,
meant
rather
to
indicate
an
artistic
interest
alone
in
the
work,
divesting
the
picture
from
any
outside
sort
of
interest
which
might
have
been
otherwise
attached
to
it.
It
is
an
arrangement
of
line,
form,
and
colour
first,
and
I
make
use
of
any
incident
of
it
which
shall
bring
about
a
symmetrical
result.
Among
my
works
are
some
night
pieces;
and
I
have
chosen
the
word
Nocturne
because
it
generalises
and
simplifies
the
whole
set
of
them.”
