''The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies'' is a book by the painter James McNeill Whistler, published in 1890. The book was in part a response to, in part a transcript of, Whistler's famous libel suit against critic John Ruskin. Ruskin, in a review of the inaugural showing at the Grosvenor Gallery, had referred to Whistler's painting ''Nocturne in Black and Gold – The Falling Rocket'' as "flinging a pot of paint in the public's face."〔Hewison, Robert. ''John Ruskin''. Oxford University Press, 2007. pg. 98〕 The book contains Whistler's letters to newspapers chronicling his many petty grievances against various acquaintances and friends. Whistler biographer Stanley Weintraub suggests the book was controversial enough that Whistler might have been better known for it than for his art at the time of his death.〔Weintraub, Stanley. ''Whistler: A Biography''. De Capo Press, 2001: xi. ISBN 0-306-80971-0〕 ==References==
