Winslow Homer in Watercolor, Lecture with Sue Altman

Friday, November 7, from 10:30 am - 12:00 pm.

The great American artist Winslow Homer will be featured in an important exhibition, Of Light and Air: Winslow Homer in Watercolor, at the MFA Boston this fall. The focus is his brilliant watercolors featuring the rugged Maine coast, the Adirondack Mountains, seaside England, the waters of the Caribbean, and more. The MFA houses the largest collection of Homer’s watercolors in the world. This talk will also discuss his maritime paintings and his time as a correspondent during the Civil War, which resulted in important works on the war and the Reconstruction era that followed.
