Whistler is one of the nineteenth century’s great artists; however, it is not until one views his original etchings that his true talent regarding architectural views, portraits and figures emerges. The El Paso Museum of Art’s exhibition of his etchings demonstrates the importance of this artist, whose work influenced many later artists.
