Winslow Homer and His Cullercoats Paintings

In his Cullercoats paintings, Winslow Homer took as his main subject the lives and labours of the village's women and their strong sense of community. These paintings display his masterly uses of watercolor. The Cullercoats paintings show Homer in a new light, and Tatham's revelatory account provides the long-overdue attention they deserve.

Cand Winslow Homer a navigat in Anglia in martie 1881, era deja bine stabilit ca membru de frunte al generatiei sale de artisti americani. Criticii l-au numit adesea „cel mai american dintre artisti americani”, combinand laudele cu implicatia ca munca sa a fost provinciala in comparatie cu cea a contemporanilor sai americani mai instruiti in Europa.
