Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

An accessible introduction to American painter Winslow Homer, examining his work through the lens of conflict A fresh exploration of the work of iconic American painter Winslow Homer (18361910) through the lens of conflict, a recurring theme in his prolific career. A persistent fascination with struggle permeates Homers artfrom emblematic images of the Civil War and Reconstruction to dazzling tropical works and monumental marinesand reveals his lifelong engagement with the charged subjects of race, nature, and the environment. This publication illuminates Homers preoccupation with the complex social and political issues of his erawar, slavery, imperialismas well as his broader concerns with the fragility of human life and dominance of nature. These powerful themes are present in his earliest Civil War and Reconstruction paintings, which explore the effect of the conflict on the landscape, soldiers, and the formerly enslaved. They continue through his later images of rural life, dramatic rescues, and huntingpaintings that grapple with the often uneasy relationship between humans and the natural world. Toward the end of his life, human figures were reduced to tiny, irrelevant presences, while the ocean acquired a pivotal role. This richly illustrated volume will be published to accompany a retrospective at the National Gallery, organized in collaboration with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Published by National Gallery Global/Distributed by Yale University Press. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. …
