About This Book

The author presents four concise critical studies, each devoted to a different etcher—Seymour Haden, Jules Jacquemart, J. A. M. Whistler, and Alphonse Legros—analyzing their techniques, temperaments, and characteristic strengths such as vigour or exquisiteness. Alongside formal descriptions of plates and editorial notes on image selection, the essays consider etching’s relation to other arts and to nature, the balance between immediacy and revision in practice, and the critical stance taken toward contemporary artistic debates. Reproductions of representative etchings illustrate the points made.
