Pages : 252
Book Description
"Winslow Homer's luminous watercolor seascapes and highly spirited portraits of children and outdoorsmen are some of the most recognizable and cherished works in the history of American art. This catalogue, published in conjunction with a major traveling exhibition, examines his pictures from the 1870s, the least-studied period of this perennially popular American artist. Debunking the common myth that Homer worked in isolation, Margaret Conrads reveals him as a controversial artist who was an integral part of the dizzying New York art scene of the 1870s. Indeed, Homer was the American artist most frequently discussed by the press at this time - often with simultaneous commendation and vilification." "By viewing Homer's works of the 1870s through the lens of contemporaneous criticism, the author explains how and why the painter embodied the critics' high hopes for an art that expressed national values. She finds reflected in his vivid images an ongoing struggle to meet these expectations, even as he challenged and helped to redefine the artistic conventions governing American aesthetics." "This handsome volume is a remarkable record of an important period not only in Winslow Homer's career but also in the fascinating art world of late-nineteenth-century America."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Winslow Homer and His Cullercoats Paintings
Author: David Tatham
Publisher: Syracuse University Press
ISBN: 9780815637004
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 138
Book Description
When Winslow Homer sailed to England in March of 1881, he was already well established as a leading member of his generation of American artists. Critics often referred to him as the “most American of American artists,” combining praise with the implication that his work was provincial compared to that of his more European-trained American contemporaries. However, upon his return, after a year and a half spent in the seaside village of Cullercoats, Homer’s work garnered rave reviews and gained a new appreciation among art dealers. In this book, Tatham’s detailed account of Homer’s time in Cullercoats offers a perceptive reappraisal of both the village’s influence on his work and the paintings themselves. In his Cullercoats paintings, Homer took as his main subject the lives and labors of the village’s women and their strong sense of community. In many ways, these paintings stand among Homer’s most original and perceptive depictions of women, but they also display his masterly uses of watercolor. The Cullercoats paintings show Homer in a new light, and Tatham’s revelatory account provides the long-overdue attention they deserve.
