 Winslow Homer
Winslow Homer, an American oil painting artist, was born Feb. 24, 1836, Boston, Mass., U.S. died Sept. 29, 1910, Prouts Neck, Maine. Winslow Homer's oil paintings, particularly those on marine subjects, are among the most powerful and expressive of late 19th-century American art. His mastery of sketching and watercolour lends to his oil paintings the invigorating spontaneity of direct observation from nature (e.g., in “The Gulf Stream,” 1899). His subjects, often deceptively simple on the surface, dealt in their most serious moments with the theme of man’s efforts to establish his humanness in the face of an indifferent universe. Winslow Homer's oil paintings reproduction available now.
