Winslow Homer: Crosscurrents Virtual Opening | Met Exhibitions

Показать описание

Join Stephanie Herdrich, Associate Curator of American Painting and Sculpture, and Sylvia Yount, Lawrence A. Fleischman Curator in Charge—both of the American Wing—for a virtual tour of "Winslow Homer: Crosscurrents." This ambitious survey reconsiders Homer’s work through the lens of conflict, a theme that crosses his prolific career. A persistent fascination with struggle permeates his art—from emblematic images of the Civil War and Reconstruction that examine the effects of the conflict on the landscape, soldiers, and formerly enslaved to dramatic scenes of rescue and hunting as well as monumental seascapes and dazzling tropical works painted throughout the Atlantic world. The centerpiece of the exhibition is Homer’s iconic "The Gulf Stream" (The Met), a painting that reveals his lifelong engagement with charged subjects of race and the environment. Featuring 88 oils and watercolors, "Crosscurrents" represents the largest critical overview of Homer’s art and life in more than a quarter of a century.

The exhibition is made possible by The Peter Jay Sharp Foundation.

Corporate sponsorship is provided by Bank of America.

Additional support is provided by the Barrie A. and Deedee Wigmore Foundation, the Terra Foundation for American Art, White & Case LLP, the Enterprise Holdings Endowment, and Ann M. Spruill and Daniel H. Cantwell.

This exhibition is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.

It is organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The National Gallery, London.

The catalogue is made possible by the William Cullen Bryant Fellows of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Additional support is provided by the Wyeth Foundation for American Art and Elizabeth Marsteller Gordon.

Extraordinary artist. A “must see” for certain.

This video is an absolute education. Before watching it I had some awareness of Homer's work but this Met 'tour' hosted by two knowledgable curators/experts makes a powerful case for the greatness of this artist. For me personally the 'Crosscurrents' exhibition is an absolute 'must see' and if not in New York, then certainly in London when it travels here. Thanks to the Met for organizing the show and for this enlightening video🙏.

Winslow Homer's art brings me to the east coast of the US, more than that, it brings me the feeling of being on the US east coast.

Homer's subjects are so different from Vermeer, but that's the only comparison I can make. He handles light the same way Vermeer did. Incredible, incredible artist.
