In 1885,for the first time, Whistler delivered a lecture entitled "Ten O'Clock", which indicated of his artistic credo, in London. It seems to have a meaning as not only a result of his artistic activity but also a conclusion of the 19th century European art. In this he showed various ideas Part pour Part, anti-naturalism, aestheticism, musical analogy, and so on. All these were not his own but borrowed opinions, deprived chiefly from Delacroix, Gautier, Baudelaire or Pater. But except Delacroix these presedants were a poets or writers. The painter Whistler's lecture was in advance of Denis' famous manifestation of Symbolism(1890). Whistler was also the first painter to attach the musical titles to his own works and used to tell about painting in connection with music that Symbolists would often adopt as an important conception. Furthermore in 1888 Ten O'Clock was translated into by the French Symbolist poet Mallarme, and spread in the Continent. These suggest that Whistler's thought anticipated and linked up with Symbolism movement, as a conclusion of the 19th century art, attaining the climax in 1880's and 1890's.
