The artist Winslow Homer, considered one of America’s greatest artists, will show the reality of the Civil War war and the country and its people that will emerge as our nation defines a new identity. From scenes of the battlefied to the innocence of the school yard to sweeping ocean vistas of sailing and the sea, Winslow Homer’s mastery of painting in oil and watercolor will combine with his early training as an illustrator to create visual stories of life in America that captivated audiences of his time as they still do today more than 150 years later.
Art Lecture Presenter Bob Potter is the former Executive Director of the Lyme Art Association.
