  • February 24th Birthday Line Up: Winslow Homer, Charles Le Brun, Mattia Preti, Richard Hamilton

    2 monthes ago - By Chez Namaste Nancy

    Winslow Homer. Where do you start with one of the most famous and certainly one of the best American artists of the 19th century. His works, particularly those on marine subjects, are among the most powerful and expressive of late 19th-century American art. His mastery of sketching and watercolour lends to his oil paintings the invigorating spontaneity of direct observation from nature. His subjects, often deceptively simple on the surface, dealt in their most-serious moments with the theme of human struggle within an indifferent universe.
