This biography from the Archives of AskART:
|  Well known for his atmospheric landscapes, Edmund Wuerpel was the Dean
of the St. Louis School of Fine Art and Dean Emeritus at Washington
University. He studied in Paris with Jean Leon Gerome and James
Whistler.
His Tonalist style of painting, unusual for a painter of his time frame
living in the Midwest, was likely influenced by his friendship with
James McNeill Whistler whom he met in Europe and referenced in his
writings.
