Customer Reviews

Great overview of Whistler's work

This is a wonderful book! There are 79 reproductions, the pictures are good quality, and color works are reproduced in color (etchings are black & white, as were the originals). There are examples of works from through-out Wistler's life, as well as all the different media he used. The text seems useful and descriptive, and the bibliography is extensive. I suppose the only complaint could be the size of the book (about 11" X 8"), but since many of Whistler's works are modest in size to begin with, I really don't find it to be a problem. Most of the pictures are half- or full-page, and the color balance seems true to my eye. Overall, for a concise, and reasonably compact book on Whistler, you couldn't do better!
