Winslow Homer and the Sea

About this book

Winslow Homer (1836-1910) devoted much of his life to a study of the ocean and the people whose lives were intertwined with it. This book is the first to focus on the full range of Homers coastal subjects with thirty-six reproductions of his most powerful works. Carl Littles essay discusses Homers development as a painter; quotations from writers such as Homer scholar Philip C. Beam and poet Gerard Manley Hopkins add a further dimension to the thorough and enlightening text. Third printing.
