When Winslow Homer sailed to England in March of 1881, he was
already well established as a leading member of his generation of
American artists. Critics often referred to him as the "most
American of American artists", combining praise with the
implication that his work was provincial compared to that of his
more European-trained American contemporaries. However, upon his
return, after a year and a half spent in the seaside village of
Cullercoats, Homer's work garnered rave reviews and gained a new
appreciation among art dealers. In this book, Tatham's detailed
account of Homer's time in Cullercoats offers a perceptive
reappraisal of both the village's influence on his work and the
paintings themselves. In his Cullercoats paintings, Homer took as
his main subject the lives and labors of the village's women and
their strong sense of community. In many ways, these paintings
stand among Homer's most original and perceptive depictions of
women, but they also display his masterly uses of watercolor. The
Cullercoats paintings show Homer in a new light, and Tatham's
revelatory account provides the long-overdue attention they
deserve.
