Countless vibrations precede it, countless vibrations follow after. It approaches the continent, swings into the coast line, courses ashore, breaks, dissolves, is gone. The innermost water it last inhabited flow back in marbly foam to become a body to another beat, and to be again flung down.

, was fortunate to have been able to pursue his chosen profession while satisfying his wanderlust for adventure much like a soldier. He was just beginning a lifelong career that would earn him fame and affluence for his paintings of American life and nature, especially of the sea. Already he was winning admirers through the pages of with his sensitive wood engravings that portrayed the life of soldiers in camp and conveyed the longing of loved ones left behind. Homer was mostly a self-taught artist whose talent was readily apparent from the start of his career. It was matched by his determination to develop his skills independently and to his own liking. As evidence of this, Homer declined to join the staff of , preferring instead to contribute to the paper as a freelance artist. For Homer, the Civil War provided an unusual opportunity to explore and practice the nuances of his profession, while rendering a service to those who valued his art as a documentary of the war. Between 1861 and 1865, Homer made several trips to the war front in Virginia. Armed with a letter from Fletcher Harper, the editor of .

27. Winslow Homer: The Obtuse Bard Scholarly look at winslow homer s paintings. http://www.obtusebard.org/homer/

Winslow Homer: The Obtuse Bard VISUAL IMAGINATION TRAINING Winslow Homer recorded an obtuse poetic side in his art. Homer's intensely personal phenomenological side also may function as a device to convey feelings and ideas following a technique suggested by Washington Allston. On The Obtuse Bard Website, visual examples and documented research papers about Homer's obtuse and intensely personal side are available for viewing and reading. Homer viewed the world influenced by the ideas of those who surrounded him as a child in Cambridge, Massachusetts, especially the ideas of painter/poet Washington Allston , Allston's brother-in-law Richard Henry Dana Sr. , and Allston's friend Benjamin Welles . In the writings of Allston's friends, especially Dana Sr. and Welles, there are discussions encouraging people to literally see "forms of departed friends in the white clouds" as common everyday experiences. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (to whom Allston read his " Lectures on Art "), William Cullen Bryant (a friend of Dana Sr.), and James Russell Lowell (who replaced Longfellow at Harvard) also made references to seeing such illusions in their poetry . For most people today, experience with such images is usually more abstracted, limited to images such as "The Man in the Moon" or the constellations. While we may be familiar with references in literature to people seeing illusions, most of us have little actual experience seeing illusions. In fact, in todays world, we tend to

In 1859, Homer moved to New York, where he continued to freelance for , visiting the front several times and illustrating the daily routine of camp life on the Union side. His wartime experiences inspired numerous oil paintings, and critical acclaim for this work led to his 1865 election to the National Academy of Design as a full academician. Following the great success of his Civil War images, Homer took his first trip to Europe in December 1866. He spent ten months in France, sharing a studio in the Montmartre district of Paris with a friend from Massachusetts, Albert Warren Kelsey, and briefly visiting the countryside. During his stay abroad, he did not enroll in any art classes but worked on his own, completing nineteen small oil paintings and three illustrations for After returning from France, Homer continued to work as a painter in New York and resumed his practice of painting in series, concentrating on depictions of women and children in outdoor settings. Despite his past triumphs, the new pictures received mixed reviews and sold for only modest prices. In the early 1870s, he began pushing his art and artistic practice in new directions. Most likely in response to a very successful exhibition of American and European watercolors at the National Academy of Design in February 1873, Homer first explored watercolor as a distinct means of artistic expression during a trip to Gloucester, Massachusetts, in the summer of 1873. He exhibited the works completed during this Gloucester visit at the American Society of Painters in Watercolors in the spring of 1874 and became a member of that organization three years later.

He was a self-taught artist who followed the 19th-century precept to look at nature rather than pictures. Homer often painted in the open air to capture the effects of outdoor life and then refined and distilled his studies to construct a more forceful representation of his subjects. Cloud Shadows was painted during Homer's later period when his subjects were predominantly heroic seascapes, emphasizing the struggles between man and nature. However, this seascape harkens back to Homer's middle period, which included rural scenes, children playing, and well-dressed women shown in fashionable resorts. These subjects celebrated old-fashioned rural values in a nation undergoing rapid change and urbanization.

For member access, click here Chicago hotels offer special packages for this exhibition. Winslow Homer, who created some of the most breathtaking and influential images in the history of watercolor, was, famously, a man who received almost no formal artistic education. Acknowledged in his own day as America’s most original and independent watercolorist, he had an intuitive relationship with this challenging yet flexible medium. Between 1873 and 1905, he created nearly 700 watercolors. A staple of his livelihood, watercolors were also his classroom, a way for him to learn through experimentation—with color theory, composition, materials, optics, style, subject matter, and technique—far more freely than he could in the more public and tradition-bound arena of oil painting. This exhibition provides an intimate look at how one of America’s most celebrated painters discovered for himself, over a period of more than three decades, the secrets of the watercolor medium.

Back to headlines Larger text Smaller text Winslow Homer's Civil War engravings in New Castle exhibit By Kurt Shaw TRIBUNE-REVIEW ART CRITIC Sunday, January 13, 2008 Winslow Homer (1836-1910) was one of the most prolific artists of his day, and inarguably one of the most famous painters of the American Guilded Age. But, long before his paintings of seascapes and country life captured the spirit of America, he captured America's strife, particularly that of the Civil War (1861-65). During the Civil War, Homer was sent to Virginia as an artist-correspondent for Harper's Weekly. While there, he filled his sketchbooks with quick studies depicting scenes that ranged from the everyday activities of the soldiers to the heightened drama of battle. story continues below After the drawings were sent to Harper's in New York, they would be turned into wood engravings able to withstand thousands upon thousands of impressions. Originally used as illustrations that would run alongside text that described the scenes, today, they have become the most collected artistic material of the Civil War era. The publishers of Harper's, like other magazines of the day, had little regard for the drawings or even the engravings that were made from them. The hard blocks used to make the engravings frequently were planed down and reused. And because the resultant prints were part of the weekly papers, they were usually thrown out by readers with equal disregard.
