This timely study of Winslow Homer highlights his imagery of the
Atlantic world and reveals themes of racial, political, and natural
conflict across his career Long celebrated as the quintessential
New England regionalist, Winslow Homer (1836-1910) in fact brushed
a much wider canvas, traveling throughout the Atlantic world and
frequently engaging in his art with issues of race, imperialism,
and the environment. This publication focuses, for the first time,
on the watercolors and oil paintings Homer made during visits to
Bermuda, Cuba, coastal Florida, and the Bahamas. Among these, The
Gulf Stream (1899), often considered the most consequential
painting of his career, reveals Homer's lifelong fascination with
struggle and conflict. Recognizing the artist's keen ability to
distill complex issues, Winslow Homer: Crosscurrents upends popular
conceptions and convincingly argues that Homer's work resonates
with the challenges of the present day. Published by The
Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale University Press

An ideal introduction to the painter s work, Sargent: The
Masterworks features 100 of his most beloved paintings.
Illustrating all aspects of his diverse oeuvre portraits,
landscapes, mural commissions in oil and watercolour, this handsome
new book includes works from both private and public collections,
including the Metropolitan Museum of Art s infamous Madame X.
Author Stephanie L. Herdrich draws on a wealth of new research to
provide both an essential overview and a more nuanced understanding
of the great American painter. Richly illustrated, the book s three
chapters cover the artist s career from his childhood and early
years in Paris, to his mid-career portraits made in England and
United States, and his later years painting out of doors. An
illustrated chronology contains fascinating details and archival
imagery about the artist s life. Sargent s cosmopolitan upbringing
and education made him perfectly suited to capture the upwardly
mobile bourgeoisie and aristocrats of his era, creating sensual
portraits that depict his sitters with startling vibrancy. Though
he achieved tremendous success in portraiture, Sargent focused on
painting outdoors after 1900, achieving the most brilliant and
personal images of his career. One of the greatest portraitists and
watercolourists of his time, Sargent remains one of the most
well-known and well-loved of all American artists.
