A fresh exploration of the work of iconic American painter Winslow Homer (1836-1910) through the lens of conflict, a recurring theme in his prolific career. A persistent fascination with struggle permeates Homer's art - from emblematic images of the Civil War and Reconstruction to dazzling tropical works and monumental marines - and reveals his lifelong engagement with the charged subjects of race, nature, and the environment. This book illuminates Homer's preoccupation with the complex social and political issues of his era - war, slavery, imperialism - as well as his broader concerns with the fragility of human life and dominance of nature.
