Winslow Homer: American Passage - Talk and Book Signing with William R. Cross
Advertisement
The definitive life of the painter who forged American identity visually, in art and illustration, with an impact comparable to that of Walt Whitman and Mark Twain in poetry and prose - yet whose own story has remained largely untold.
Meet author, historian, and scholar William R. Cross, whose book, "Winslow Homer: American Passage," details the life of this iconic artist.
Whether using pencil, watercolor, or, most famously, oil, Homer addressed the hopes and fears of his fellow Americans and invited his viewers into stories embedded with universal, timeless questions of purpose and meaning.
His archetypal images of American culture were endowed with a force of moral urgency through which they speak to all people today.
Cross will speak about the life of this extraordinary artist with a book signing to follow.
