Winslow Homer

Snap the Whip

US$ 657.00

A line of barefoot boys runs across a summer field, hands locked, the end of the chain whipping loose so that two are already going down. Homer painted it in 1872 beside a one-room schoolhouse. The country was seven years out of civil war and looking hard at its own childhood.

Artist

Winslow Homer (1836-1910) began as a Civil War illustrator and became the great American painter of the sea, of childhood and of solitary struggle. Largely self-taught, he moved to the Maine coast in later life and painted the Atlantic with unmatched force. His watercolours are as important as his oils.
