Bleu et argent: South Coast

Titles

Only one title is known, but it is expressed in several languages and with variations in punctuation:

  • 'Bleu & argent – South Coast' (1888, Whistler). 1
  • ' "Bleu et argent." South Coast' (1888, Whistler). 2
  • 'Blau und Silber: Sudkuste' (1888, III. Internationale Kunst-Ausstellung, Munich). 3
  • 'Bleu et argent: South Coast' (1980, YMSM). 4

The punctuation of the original title was amended in 1980 for consistency with other titles. Although the use of two languages is odd, the preferred title is 'Bleu et argent: South Coast'.
