HOMER, Winslow

1836 Boston – 1910 Prout’s Neck (Maine). Realism

Together with Thomas Eakins, Homer is one of the most important American painters of the second half of the 19th century. He began his career as lithographer in Boston, but soon decided to work as an independent artist. In 1859 he moved to New York, where he worked as an illustrator on Harper’s Weekly. From the time of the Civil War, his drawings for this magazine depict war scenes and daily life in time of war without sentimentality or false heroism. When he began painting in oil, he transferred to it the principles of woodcut design, developing a fine sense of colour in his composition. Homer preferred open-air subjects and excelled in pictures of popular life. In later life he lost interest in figurative representation and turned to marine painting.
