Winslow Homer: An Exhibition of Paintings, Drawings, and Watercolors
28 October - 20 November 2015
Winslow Homer: An Exhibition of Paintings, Drawings, and Watercolors showcases the remarkable versatility and technical skill of the celebrated 19th century American Realist, Winslow Homer (1836–1910). Achieving recognition for his exacting illustrations from the front lines during the American Civil War, Homer's career continued to flourish over the next four decades as the artist strived to realize a visual language that spoke to the contemporary American social landscape. By bringing together significant, yet rarely before exhibited depictions of leisure life and harrowing adventures, Winslow Homer puts into dialogue the multitudinous themes and ideas that the artist pursued into the turn of the century.
The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue.
