James McNeill Whistler was not the first American-born artist to become famous in London and Europe. By the end of his career, however, Whistler had surpassed all of his fellow expatriates, not only by his skill as a painter and an etcher, but through a carefully cultivated public persona that played up his Southern roots, and established him as a pugnacious, opinionated, and, if nothing else, very interesting member of the artistic community that wandered back and forth between London and Paris.
