SUMMARY:Homer at the Beach: A Marine Painter's Journey\, 1869-1880
DESCRIPTION:An Exploration of the Earliest Marine Works of Winslow Homer\n\nThis summer\, the Cape Ann Museum will exhibit some 50 original works by renowned American artist Winslow Homer. The exhibition will be the first close examination of the formation of this great artist as a marine painter. The Cape Ann Museum will be the sole venue for this exhibition\, which will include loans from some 40 public and private collections.\n\nIn 1869\, Winslow Homer (1836 1910) exhibited his first picture of the sea. He was an ambitious New York illustrator   not yet recognized as an artist   and freshly back from France. Over the next 11 years\, Homer's journey would take him to a variety of marine destinations\, from New Jersey to Maine\, but especially   and repeatedly   to Gloucester and other parts of Cape Ann.\n\nIt was on Cape Ann that Homer made his first watercolors and where he discovered his calling: to be a marine artist. And it was in Gloucester in 1880\, at the end of these 11 years\, where he enjoyed the most productive season of his life\, composing more than 100 watercolors of astonishing beauty. Homer's journey forever changed his life and the art of his country.\n\nThis exhibition will reveal new aspects of Homer\, for the first time placing these paintings\, drawings and even ceramic work in their rich geographic\, cultural and historical settings\, on the 150th anniversary of Homer's first paintings of the sea.\n\nHomer at the Beach: A Marine Painter's Journey\, 1869-1880 at the Cape Ann Museum will run concurrently with Winslow Homer: Eyewitness at the Harvard Art Museums\, a complementary exhibition opening August 31.\n\n  Download the press release here\n\n  Call for Papers   Winslow Homer: New Insights\n\n \n\nWinslow Homer (1836 1910)\, Children on the Beach\, 1873.
