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 Leaststudied 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 Timeoften 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.With Almost One Hundred Fullcolor Plates And Nearly Sixty Blackandwhite Illustrations, 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 Latenineteenthcentury America.Exhibition Schedule:The Nelsonatkins Museum Of Artkansas City, Missourifebruary 18May 6, 2001Los Angeles County Museum Of Artjune 10September 9, 2001High Museum Of Art, Atlantaoctober 6, 2001January 6, 2002
