Series: Divay FPG research documents collection (UM Archives, Mss 12) Note: Orig. publ. as "Ten O'Clock" in: Neue Deutsche Rundschau14, (1904), 315-325. -- Greve's partial translation of an hour-long Public Lecture delivered by the famous American Artist in London's "Prince's Hall, Piccadilly" in February 1885. A zvab antiquarian says this about the provocative text: ".Described by Whistler himself as a highly entertaining account of personal revenge, this work is filled with the deadly sarcasm and stinging remarks of one of the wittiest men of the 19th century. The great artist deflates Wilde, Ruskin, Swinburne, and inane critics and discusses the aesthetics of the Impressionists."
