Product Description
Synopsis
The year 2003 marks the centenary of the death of James McNeill Whistler (1834-2003), and major exhibitions are planned in museums around the world. Whistler ranks among the greatest of modern etchers, and this compilation features the best of his work in the genre. Here are 149 outstanding examples of his etchings and drypoint, most in the original size, and all reproduced with exceptional quality. Appealing subjects include views of wharfs and bridges; street scenes from London, Amsterdam, and Venice; and portraits: "Black Lion Wharf," "The Storm," "The Village Sweet-Shop," "Old Battersea Bridge," "Nocturne," and many others. The editor has provided an insightful introduction and an explanatory note for each print, making this volume an excellent reference for those already acquainted with Whistler's etchings as well as a fine introduction for others.

Master Printmaker

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you are a printmaker or a student of printmaking, you MUST have this book. Katharine Lochnan tells Whistler's life story in detail, within the context of his time and with clarity. The many superb reproductions are a gold mine of the etcher's art. While Whistler was an expatriate most of his life and living between Paris and London, America still claims him as one of the greatest of all U.S. artists. If anyone has any doubts, this book illustrates why Whistler's prints rank with those of Goya, Blake and yes, even Rembrandt van Rijn. This is the Yale/Ago exhibition catalog of 1984, NOT the Dover publication mentioned in the product description under Editorial Reviews.
