Abstract

Four Masters of Etching
September 13, 1883 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses the book "Four Masters of Etching," by Frederick Wedmore. With regard to Jacquemart, Wedmore's remarks are appreciative and interesting, as well as for the most part discriminating. In the chapter on Whistler are some good critical remarks, though the author does not seem to feel the invariable ugliness of Whistler's design, which goes far, even in his best etchings, to overbalance his subtle suggestiveness. On the whole, it cannot be said that these etchings are of very high character. Those by Haden and Whistler certainly convey no adequate idea of the powers of these two artists respectively.
