James McNeill Whistler was not the first American-born artist to become famous in London and Europe. By the end of his career, however, Whistler had surpassed all of his fellow expatriates, not only by his skill as a painter and an etcher, but through a carefully cultivated public persona that played up his Southern roots, and established him as a pugnacious, opinionated, and, if nothing else, very interesting member of the artistic community that wandered back and forth between London and Paris. This book contains 64 outstanding works by Whistler, capturing his career as both a landscape painter and a portraitist, and also reintroducing readers to his outstanding skills as an etcher.
