Though a Bostonian by birth and upbringing, Winslow Homer lived and maintained his studio in New York City for twentyfive years, establishing himself as a leading figure in New Yorks art world. In 1881, determined to broaden his status as a painter, Homer journeyed to Great Britain. During his trip, major changes appeared in nearly everything he did as a painter. They came so rapidly that there can be little doubt that the crucial turning point occurred during his first weeks in London. After his return to New York in November 1882 and during his later years in Maine, the sequence of major oil paintings that came from his brush owed much, in the most fundamental ways, to transformations that began in London. Tathams Winslow Homer in London: A New York Artist Abroad is the first book to examine in detail this preeminent American painters crucial weeks in London during his year and a half in Great Britain. Tatham presents new information concerning Homers time in the city, the centuriesold American associations of his London neighborhood, and his visits to London art institutions; he also considers in detail the artists iconic painting The Houses of Parliament. Concluding chapters consider New Yorks reception of Homers postLondon paintings from the fishing village of Cullercoats and show how London and this village together formed the foundation for the major paintings of the artists later career. Tathams acute examination is enhanced with several illustrations of Homers most celebrated paintings.
