Winslow Homer: Crosscurrents
English
By (author): Christopher Riopelle Daniel Immerwahr Gwendolyn Duboi Shaw Stephanie L. Herdrich Sylvia Yount
This timely study of Winslow Homer highlights his imagery of the Atlantic world and reveals themes of racial, political, and natural conflict across his career
Long celebrated as the quintessential New England regionalist, Winslow Homer (18361910) in fact brushed a much wider canvas, traveling throughout the Atlantic world and frequently engaging in his art with issues of race, imperialism, and the environment. This publication focuses, for the first time, on the watercolors and oil paintings Homer made during visits to Bermuda, Cuba, coastal Florida, and the Bahamas. Among these, The Gulf Stream (1899), often considered the most consequential painting of his career, reveals Homers lifelong fascination with struggle and conflict. Recognizing the artists keen ability to distill complex issues, Winslow Homer: Crosscurrents upends popular conceptions and convincingly argues that Homers work resonates with the challenges of the present day.
