Winslow Homer Watercolors

This stunning volume allows one to experience nature through the eyes of one of America's greatest painters. It is a vision of nature from a century ago that is still appreciated today. From the mountains and streams of Canada and the Adirondacks to the beaches of New England, from the coasts of English villages to the shores of the Bahamas, Homer captured the magnificence of nature. For more than thirty years between 1873 and 1905, Winslow Homer turned to watercolors during his working vacations, capturing the spirit of each place with spontaneity and intensity. Winslow Homer Watercolors reproduces the best of these paintings. Large colour plates allow these reproductions to be appreciated almost as much as the originals. Accompanying the more than 100 colour plates is an eloquent introduction and detailed chronology of Homer's life and artistic development
