One of this man's portrait subjects commissioned him to decorate an entire room, which blended English and Japanese sensibilities and was subtitled The Peacock Room. The model for Gustave Courbet's L'Origine du Mond also served as this man's model for the portrait subtitled The White Girl. One of his more famous paintings depicts a black sky speckled with various flecks of color above a dark lake with an indistinct feminine figure on its shore. That painting, subtitled Falling Rocket, led to critic John Ruskin making libelous comments, for which this artist sued him. He's also notable for a painting titled Arrangement in Black and Grey, which depicts a woman in a long dress in a chair. For ten points, identify this American artist, who's probably the most notable for painting his mother.
