Product Information

This book was published by Thames and Hudson in association with the Amon Carter Museum and Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco in 2002. The catalogue represents several firsts in American art scholarship. Homer’s work in New York’s Adirondacks, Quebec, and Florida represents nearly his entire watercolor output in the last twenty years of his life. The authors have tracked Homer’s travels to various popular fishing locations, following his footsteps as closely as possible, thus giving added dimension to the sites and subjects in the watercolors. Moreover, the book offers an overview of sporting art in Homer’s time, a field that has been largely overlooked by art historians, though the genre attracted not just Homer but other eminent painters of his day. The catalogue brings together fresh insights by acknowledged authorities.
