Tatham's Winslow Homer in London: A New York Artist Abroad, 1881â€"1882 is the first to examine in detail this preeminent American painter's crucial weeks in London during his year and half in Great Britain. Tatham presents new information concerning Homer's time in the city, the centuries-old American associations of his London neighborhood, and his visits to London art institutions; he also considers in detail the artist's iconic painting The Houses of Parliament. Concluding chapters consider New York's reception of Homer's post-London paintings from the fishing village of Cullercoats and show how London and this village together formed the foundation for the major paintings of the artist's later career. Tatham's acute examination is enhanced with several illustrations of Homer's most celebrated paintings. - from the publisher's web site. (Inventory #: 163365)
