Winslow Homer's career spanned a turning point in North American history. He lived through the American Civil War and the abolition of slavery, the so-called Reconstruction, and war with the last colonial European power in the Americas, Spain.
From his sketches of battle and camp life to dazzling tropical views and darker restless seascapes, the works reflect Homer's interest in the pressing issues of his time: conflict, race, and the relationship between humankind and the environment — issues still relevant for us today. With more than 50 paintings, covering 40-plus years of Homer's career, Winslow Homer: Force of Nature is part of a program of exhibitions introducing major American artists such as George Bellows and Hudson River School painters Frederic Church and Thomas Cole to UK and European audiences.
GRoW is honored to support this special Homer exhibition that was organized by the National Gallery and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
