This catalogue, published in conjunction with a major traveling exhibition, examines his pictures from the 1870s, the least-studied period of this perennially popular American artist. Debunking the common myth that Homer worked in isolation, Margaret Conrads reveals him as a controversial artist who was an integral part of the dizzying New York art scene of the 1870s. Indeed, Homer was the American artist most frequently discussed by the press at this time--often with simultaneous commendation and vilification. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eBy viewing Homer's works of the 1870s through the lens of contemporaneous criticism, the author explains how and why the painter embodied the critics' high hopes for an art that expressed national values. She finds reflected in his vivid images an ongoing struggle to meet these expectations, even as he challenged and helped to redefine the artistic conventions governing American aesthetics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eWith almost one hundred full-color plates and nearly sixty black-and-white illustrations, this handsome volume is a remarkable record of an important period not only in Winslow Homer's career but also in the fascinating art world of late-nineteenth-century America. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eEXHIBITION SCHEDULE: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKansas City, Missouri \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFebruary 18-May 6, 2001 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eLos Angeles County Museum of Art \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJune 10-September 9, 2001 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eHigh Museum of Art, Atlanta \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOctober 6, 2001-January 6, 2002\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Winslow Homer and the Critics: Forging a National Art in the 1870s | Margaret Conrads | Hardcover | 0691070997 | Used: Good | Back Stacks J 1787852","offer_id":50862052966658,"sku":"1787852","price":39.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/91sOHnPUG-L.jpg?v=1792845244","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/winslow-homer-and-the-critics-forging-a-national-art-in-the-1870s","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
