Description: The great artist, Whistler, is seen at work painting his immortal masterpiece, "The Mother." Later, the painting comes to life as it hangs on the museum wall. The aged mother of the painting dreams of her youth, sings lovely lullaby to her infant son, who then returns her song as a mature man. Should be found most useful to art teachers as means of showing the intense "life" that is packed into great paintings. Charming story, usable anywhere.
