He also depicted farm life, as well as scenes from the War Between the States (US Civil War). It was the latter, in fact, published in Harper's Weekly during the war, that brought him fame and enough money to eventually begin spending his winters in the Caribbean and Bahamas. He preferred working in oils, but his watercolors represent some of his finest (and nearly Impressionistic) work.

Winslow Homer: Land and Sea January 19-March 23, 2008 Winslow Homer Prout's Neck: Looking Toward Old Orchard watercolor and graphite on wove paper gift of anonymous donor Addison Gallery of American Art The Addison’s collection of works by Winslow Homer is among the deepest, broadest, and best in the country. The works in this exhibition largely concern Homer’s great love for the outdoors, whether in rural New England and upstate New York or in the open sea. Homer’s fame during his lifetime rested in large part on his celebration of humankind’s relationship with nature. He shows hunters, fishermen, and farm families living close to nature, whether serene and forgiving or wild and without mercy. Many admired his exploration of the untamed, seeing it as more inspirational and more durable a subject than a cityscape or a bourgeois interior. Many younger artists who admired Homer believed there was no better way to reach what is elemental in life than to focus on features such as the land, the sea, and the sky that last forever. Two of our great Homers

46. WINSLOW HOMER 1836 Notes on this famous painting from the Butler Institute of American Art. http://www.butlerart.com/pc_book/pages/winslow_homer_1836.htm

WINSLOW HOMER 1836-1910 Snap the Whip, 1872 Oil on canvas, 22 x 36" (55.88 x cm.) Signed, lower right Museum purchase, 919-0-108 Because it seems the quintessential embodiment of the American spirit, this painting is one of Winslow Homer's most discussed and reproduced works. As one of our greatest artists, Homer and his life are justifiably the subject of a voluminous body of scholarly writing. Snap the Whip, dating from just about the mid-point of his life, tells us a good deal about some of the critical transitions in his artistic development at that time. However familiar and appealing such a work seems to us, it delights and informs with each new look we bring to it. One of the reasons it is so well known is that it exists in several versions: a large figure drawing for the central group of boys (1872, Cooper-Hewitt Museum, New York), a finished oil study (1872, Metropolitan Museum of Art), the final Butler Institute canvas, and another figure drawing believed to be a cartoon (Fig. 1), for the nearly exact replica executed as a wood engraving and published in Harper's Weekly

(SONG IN BACKGROUND - "AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL") ROGER ROSENBLATT: On this July 4th, sing America and a painter of America, Winslow Homer. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is doing that this summer in a retrospective exhibition that covers Homer's life, 1836 to 1910, and his long career. The career, itself, covers much of the country in the late 19th century. Homer, known mainly for painting placid rural scenes, Snap the Whip and Crossing the Pasture, was also the painter of the Civil War and its soldiers, of reconstruction and freed slaves, of the sea and seafarers in Massachusetts and in Maine, and of the tropics in Key West, Florida. He painted men, women, and children in different climates and circumstances, all of whom made up a nation equally searching and diverse. These two qualities Homer saw as the heart of the republic and using oils and water colors, like his contemporary, Walt Whitman, he too sang "America." The roughness of his style is an analog to the searching country. Homer's finished work appears oddly unfinished, as if he was painting on the run and implying that what I see is about to change. Sometimes the mutability is inherent in the subject. His paintings of the sea off the coast of Maine catch waves in motion as they billow, spray, and crash, and the sea, of course, rolls on.

Winslow Homer: Making Art, Making History , an innovative exhibition of work by the nineteenth-century American artist, is the largest display from the Clark's extensive holdings in decades. While the objects on view encourage wonder at Homer's aesthetic achievement, the breadth of the collection also allows questions to be asked about relations among the works themselves, their place in the art world of the nineteenth century, and the role they play in helping us understand their era. The exhibition offers insights into the artist's achievement, raises questions about the variable nature of history, and documents the collection's own institutional past.

51. Prints By Winslow Homer Prints by winslow homer. Woodengravings issued in the nineteenth century in Harper s Weekly and other sources. http://www.philaprintshop.com/homer.html

Prints by Winslow Homer Harper's genre Harper's Civil War ... Appleton's Genre prints from Harper's Weekly Newspapers like Harper’s Weekly Ballou’s Pictorial Every Saturday , etc., were filled each week with woodblock illustrations by many of the leading American artists of the last half of the nineteenth century. Now-famous painters like Winslow Homer gained early experience as staff artists on the Civil War battlefield, providing sketches that were published as contemporaneous views of battles, soldiers and scenes. These pictures provided the most widely circulated eye-witness illustrations of the war, and thus were the most common means by which Americans could view the events and persons of the tragic conflict. Also of great interest are the genre scenes drawn by leading American artists, many of whom got their first chance to succeed through such weekly papers. Again, Winslow Homer's work shines through, displaying his talent for sympathetically capturing people in distinctive land- and seascapes. Examples of Homer's work in papers like Harper's are now beginning to be appreciated not only as decorative and affordable, but also as historically significant for collectors .

Welcome Winslow Homer Winslow Homer (1836-1910) was a self-taught American painter and illustrator, considered a master of watercolors. Homer began his career as an illustrator and chronicled the Civil War for Harper's Weekly . Following the war he concentrated on light subjects and pastoral scenes. After a stay in the English fishing village of Cullercoats in 1881-82, his pictures became more dramatic and began to emphasize marine subjects. He is now considered one of the great painters of the sea. Winslow Homer

Facing Death Alone with no Hope of Rescue "The Gulf Stream" by Winslow Homer "Animals learn death first at the moment of death;...man approaches death with the knowledge it is closer every hour, and this creates a feeling of uncertainty over his life, even for him who forgets in the business of life that annihilation is awaiting him. It is for this reason chiefly that we have philosophy and religion." Arthur Schopenhauer The World as Will and Idea

T-Z Subjects: A-B C-E F-L M-Z Homer, Winslow (1836-1910) page: One of the most prolific and important American painters and printmakers of the second half of the nineteenth century, Winslow Homer created a distinctly American, modern classical style. For this and other reasons, his works have often been compared to the achievements of such prominent nineteenth-century American authors as Henry Thoreau, Herman Melville, and Walt Whitman. Sponsor Message. Homer dealt with many of the same themes that these writers did, including the heroism displayed by ordinary individuals, when confronted by seemingly insuperable difficulties; the camaraderie and friendships enjoyed by soldiers and working men; and the isolation of the individual in the face of the "Other." Education and Early Career Born in Boston on February 24, 1836, Homer was initially trained as an artist by his mother, Henrietta Benson Winslow, who successfully exhibited watercolors of flowers and other still life subjects throughout her adult life. Between 1855 and 1857, he was apprenticed to John H. Bufford, a nationally prominent commercial artist, based in Boston; with this training, he began to do free-lance work for

The book is still available, click on box, right. What I love about this book is her great appreciation for Homer's work and her direct uncomplicated way of describing it. Not only that, but there are so many really great paintings, mostly in watercolor, which Homer did so well. In fact, I don't think there's ever been another American painter who can match him, with the possible exception of John Singer Sargent, whose total output in that medium is just of fraction of what Winslow Homer accomplished. For books about Sargent, click on Amazon link right. Click on images to enlarge them. "The Gulf Stream" painted in 1889 is a 20 x 11-3/8-inch watercolor from The Art Institute of Chicago. Hannaway writes, "His shark-versus-man theme, perhaps unconventional, was thought to be a good deal too harsh for sensitive art lovers! As a storytelling picture, this work conveys stark reality as the artist saw and felt it. The viewer must simply draw his own conclusion."

The Boston Globe "Esteemed author Johns manages to separate this work from the pack of scholarship on quintessential American artist Winslow Homer by analyzing his life and work from the perspective of developmental psychology. In doing so, she eloquently and caringly traces Homer's art across the psychoanalytical lines of a man evolving from young to middle to late adulthood. . . .Johns offers insight into aspects of Homer's life that informed his art. . . .Johns has opened up new avenues for Homer scholarship."Library Journal "Once again Elizabeth Johns has created a paradigm shift in our understanding of one of America's greatest painters.
