Whistler from within

Brinton, Christian, 1870-1942 · 1906 · [New York : s.n.] · 11 pictures

A 1906 art-criticism study of the American painter and etcher James McNeill Whistler by Christian Brinton, published in New York and aimed at readers of art and magazines. The pictures are Whistler's own etchings and drawings, reproduced as plates and magazine illustrations, showing a seated young figure, a barn interior with ladders, a self-portrait-like standing man in a cap, and a tavern scene, all in loose, feathery line that suggests how quick drypoint and etching can capture atmosphere with few marks.

Whistler, James McNeill, 1834-1903
