None of the American preoccupations with national landscape found the smallest echo in his work--not the sublime rhetoric of Frederick Church, not the tight-surfaced stillness of the Luminists and certainly not the blunt factuality of Winslow Homer. Whistler was a superb topographical etcher, as his scenes of London, Amsterdam and Venice show; but he cared nothing for realism when aesthetics pointed away from...
