Reckoning with Winslow Homer: His Late Paintings and Their Influence

For over a hundred years Winslow Homer has been considered one of American's greatest painters—an isolated, cantankerous American original, his art created free of influence and essentially having none.  Examined within the context of others' work, however, Homer emerges as a pivotal figure who successfully assimilated contemporary artistic developments and decisively affected American art for the first half of the twentieth century.  In Reckoning with Winslow Homer, Bruce Robertson has assembled fifteen of the artist's late landscapes together with forty-five works by Robert Henri, George Bellows, John Sloan, Edward Hopper, Rockwell Kent, John Marin, and others to provide the first scholarly analysis of Homer's influence on the next generation of American artists, both realists and modernists.  Robertson has arranged text and illustrations to reveal the variety of ways in which Winslow Homer's late works have been read to stimulate further views of this classic American painter.
