In 1881, determined to broaden his status as a painter, Homer journeyed to Great Britain. During his trip, major changes appeared in nearly everything he did as a painter. They came so rapidly that there can be little doubt that the crucial turning point occurred during his first weeks in London. After his return to New York in November 1882 and during his later years in Maine, the sequence of major oil paintings that came from his brush owed much, in the most fundamental ways, to transformations that began in London. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTatham's \u003ci\u003eWinslow Homer in London: A \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Artist Abroad\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to examine in detail this preeminent American painter's crucial weeks in London during his year and a half in Great Britain. Tatham presents new information concerning Homer's time in the city, the centuries-old American associations of his London neighborhood, and his visits to London art institutions; he also considers in detail the artist's iconic painting The Houses of Parliament. Concluding chapters consider New York's reception of Homer's post-London paintings from the fishing village of Cullercoats and show how London and this village together formed the foundation for the major paintings of the artist's later career. Tatham's acute examination is enhanced with several illustrations of Homer's most celebrated paintings.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50123210096863,"sku":"9780815609537","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/tfGqL9FlWq9780815609537.webp?v=1781687957"},{"product_id":"winslow-homer-and-the-pictorial-press-hardcover","title":"Winslow Homer and the Pictorial Press - Hardcover","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinslow Homer (1836-1910), arguably the best-known American artist of the nineteenth century, created three distinctly different bodies of work in the course of his long career: paintings, book illustrations, and illustrations for the pictorial press, the magazine-like illustrated journals of his day. A number of books and exhibition catalogues have dealt with his career as a painter, and historian David Tatham treated all of Homer's work as an illustrator of literature in his \u003ci\u003eWinslow Homer and the Illustrated Book.\u003c\/i\u003e Now, ten years later, Tatham has completed a full, scholarly account of Homer's work for pictorial magazines such as \u003ci\u003eHarper's Weekly, Appleton's Monthly, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eEvery Saturday. \u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHomer's work for pictorial magazines is substantial, to say the least. It amounts to some 250 wood-engraved images published between 1857 and 1875. These wood engravings are collected assiduously and are exhibited frequently in museums. They differ from Homer's book illustrations in that they are independent from the texts; Homer chose and treated the great majority of his magazine subjects much as he did his paintings. They are, in essence, original works of graphic art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe illustrations reproduced here cover a remarkable range. They constitute the first substantial body of American art about the life of the city streets, the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, abolition, and the New Woman. They include compelling treatments of the Civil War, rural childhood, and wilderness. They also comprise an essential contribution to the study of one of the masters of American art.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50123210195167,"sku":"9780815629740","price":64.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/sWRZbkVaY59780815629740.webp?v=1781687958"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/david-tatham.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
