Waves battering the weathered rocks on a shore, young boys sailing carefree on open waters: Winslow Homer's raw, evocative seascapes are among the most distinctive and powerful in American art. "Winslow Homer: Poet of the Sea" offers here a fresh exploration of Homer and his career-long preoccupation with the relationship between humans and the waters that define their world. This exhibition catalogue organizes Homer's sea-centered works by four periods that correspond to geographic locations: Gloucester, Massachusetts and other early East Coast seascapes; Cullercoats, England; Prout's Neck in Maine; and notations from his trips to tropical regions, such as the Bahamas and fishing retreats, such as the Adirondacks in New York. Distinguished European and American scholars, in a series of incisive essays, argue that Homer's seascapes need to be reevaluated. While acknowledging that most understand his paintings as premier examples of American realism, the contributors show that they are also distinctly modern in a way that set Homer radically apart from his contemporaries. Nowhere is this more evident than in his seascapes, where abstractions and expression battle his pictorial realism. The moving emotional undertones of his seascapes emerge in the compelling full-colour reproductions featured in the catalogue, as his paintings simultaneously capture the unique landscape of their geographic settings, the universality of man's relationship to the sea, and issues of pictorial representation in general. Published in conjunction with exhibitions in 2006 at London's Dulwich Picture Gallery and the Musee d'Art Americain in Giverny, "Winslow Homer: Poet of the Sea" offers a new view of an American master.

Paperback. Zustand: As New. Softcover. Good binding and cover. Light wear. Clean, unmarked pages. Winslow Homer (1836â"1910) is regarded by many as the greatest American painter of the nineteenth century. Homer's earliest Civil War paintings, dating from about 1863, are anecdotal, like his prints. As the war drew to a close, however, such canvases as The Veteran in a New Field (67.187.131) and Prisoners from the Front (22.207) reflect a more profound understanding of the war's impact and meaning. For Homer, the late 1860s and the 1870s were a time of artistic experimentation and prolific and varied output. He resided in New York City, making his living chiefly by designing magazine illustrations and building his reputation as a painter, but he found his subjects in the increasingly popular seaside resorts in Massachusetts and New Jersey, and in the Adirondacks, rural New York State, and the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Late in 1866, motivated probably by the chance to see two of his Civil War paintings at the Exposition Universelle, Homer had begun a ten-month sojourn in Paris and the French countryside. While there is little likelihood of influence from members of the French avant-garde, Homer shared their subject interests, their fascination with serial imagery, and their desire to incorporate into their works outdoor light, flat and simple forms (reinforced by their appreciation of Japanese design principles), and free brushwork.
