Record of Works by Winslow Homer - A fabulous and important compilation! Winslow Homer (1836-1910) is regarded by many as the greatest American painter of the nineteenth century. Volume I begins the record in 1846 and continues to 1866, just after the end of the Civil War. The factual descriptions and histories of approximately 294 paintings and drawings are identified in separate entries; a black and white illustration of almost every work accompanies its entry. A selection of ten paintings are also reproduced in color in a separate section. "Summary Biography," which introduces much new information on Homer's life, and challenges many of the well-worn myths and legends about him. Volume II resumes the record in 1867 and continues to 1876, the Centennial Celebration of the United States. The factual descriptions and histories of approximately 317 paintings and drawings are identified in separate entries; a black and white illustration of almost every work accompanies its entry. A selection of 60 paintings are also reproduced in color in a separate section. A continuation of the "Summary Biography" is also present. Volume III takes up the record at 1877 and continues to Homer's departure for England in March 1881. The factual descriptions and histories of approximately 400 paintings and drawings are identified in separate entries; a black and white illustration of each work accompanies its entry. A selection of seventy-six paintings are also reproduced in color in a separate section chosen to suggest what Homer's contemporaries saw of his work in the major exhibitions of the period.
