Description
"The most popular of all American watercolorists--and the artist who has had the most profound influence on watercolor painting in America--has always been Winslow Homer. This beautiful volume is the first study devoted exclusively to Homer's work in this medium. Published in cooperation with the Brooklyn Museum and The Metropoitan Museum of Art, the book includes virtually the entire Winslow Homer watercolor collection of both museums. The artist began in the English watercolor tradition--subdued color applied in delicate washes with discreet brushwork--but his vigorous, individual talent turned to the vibrant color, free brushwork, and bold, spontaneous washes that have since dominated American watercolor painting. The full range of Homer's work is encompassed in this volume: the subtle, controlled coastal scenes painted during his residence in an English fishing village; the powerful, deep-toned hunting and fishing pictures painted in the Maine woods; and the explosion of tropical color in his late watercolors of the Caribbean, the most famous and influential of all his work. Printed abroad, the color reproductions are unique in their fidelity to the paintings, which were photographed especially for this book under the supervision of the cooperating museums."--from Back cover
