"The elegant art of creating enemies" James Whistler (1834-1903) is a selection of the most ridiculous reviews of the artist’s work and his most sarcastic answers to them. The book was based on the protocol of the scandalous case "Wistler against Ryskin", which took place on November 15, 1878 and became the first public discussion, albeit in legal terms, the issue of price, symbolic and financial, art. The Whistler shines Bon Mots, wittily polemicizes, finishing each sarcastic note as the most difficult offset board, thereby creating a kind of "etching in prose". "Graceful art of creating enemies" is a kind of manifesto of the anti -Victorian movement, the first attempt by the artist in history to protect his innovative art from ignorant and vulgar criticism, to defend independence in the eyes of the new world of arts based on sales
