Location: Art Institute of Chicago

Event Information:

American painter Winslow Homer (1836–1910) created some of the most breathtaking and influential images in the history of watercolor. This exhibition will provide an intimate look at how one of America’s most celebrated painters discovered for himself—over a period of three decades—the secrets of the watercolor medium. Twenty-five spectacular Homer watercolors in the Art Institute’s collection have been carefully analyzed using the latest conservation technologies. The works and the revealing associated research will be displayed in the context of over 100 watercolors, drawings, and oil paintings that explore the artist’s most important subjects and sites and his interest in color and light.
