Book Description: Thames Hudson Ltd, United Kingdom, 2003. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 279 x 254 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. This volume and the exhibition it accompanies look closely at Winslow Homer's avid pursuit of fly-fishing and the inspiration that the sport provided for his art. It was fishing that led the eminent painter to three of the locales with which we now associate his name: the Adirondack in northern New York State; Florida; and Quebec. Each of these distinctive regions elicited unique and strong reactions from the painter that took form in works that are brilliant studies of light, atmosphere and the spirit of place. At his favourite fishing spots, Homer worked in the traveller's medium of watercolour, stretching it ever more boldly and unconventionally in order to convey the intensity of his experience of nature, his response to light and atmosphere peculiar to a given region, a specific season and a particular time of day; and his feeling for the physical and psychological demands of his favourite sport. Homer's fly-fishing paintings are an immensely varied and little understood aspect of his art. They serve as a counterpoint to all his other work, especially in the 1880s and beyond when fly-fishing represented a regular and sustained activity for the artist.Homer's fishing watercolours suggested to him new subject matter, inspiring or at least intensifying, for instance, his interest in commercial fishing and in the lives of the men and women who live by the sea. And his fishing expeditions offered recreation, rejuvenation, solace and camaraderie, which spurred his imagination. Bookseller Inventory # AAC9780500093078

Book Description: Thames & Hudson; Museum, 2003. Hardcover. Book Condition: New. FLAWLESS COPY - AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY, WHY WAIT? -- 10 by 11 inches, 238 pages. 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. -- Publishers Weekly - - Homer's reputation has been on the rise lately, with his quintessentially "American" watercolors and drawings the subjects of major retrospectives revealing the breadth of his achievement. This volume takes a narrower look, by focusing on the place of fish and fishing in Homer's life and work. Junker is curator of paintings and sculpture at the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, and Burns is a professor of fine arts at Indiana University, Bloomington. This catalogue accompanies their co-curated exhibition of the same name, opening in December 2002 in San Francisco before moving on to Fort Worth. It covers everything from Homer's fishing camp in Prout's Neck, Maine, to the trout illustrations from which Homer copped some of his pictorial fish. Of its 184 illustrations, 123 are in color, with an emphasis on full-page reproduction of watercolors, including The Angler (1874), showing a raffish, bearded man casting with panache into a cascading river. While the quality of the scholarship is undeniable, this book's appeal will likely be limited to piscatorially inclined figurative art enthusiasts-which, judging from the amount of cable TV devoted to fishing and painting, may not be an insignificant demographic.
