- Опубліковано 19 чер 2024
- Join Stephanie Herdrich, Associate Curator of American Painting and Sculpture, and Sylvia Yount, Lawrence A. Fleischman Curator in Charge-both of the American Wing-for a virtual tour of "Winslow Homer: Crosscurrents." This ambitious survey reconsiders Homer’s work through the lens of conflict, a theme that crosses his prolific career. A persistent fascination with struggle permeates his art-from emblematic images of the Civil War and Reconstruction that examine the effects of the conflict on the landscape, soldiers, and formerly enslaved to dramatic scenes of rescue and hunting as well as monumental seascapes and dazzling tropical works painted throughout the Atlantic world. The centerpiece of the exhibition is Homer’s iconic "The Gulf Stream" (The Met), a painting that reveals his lifelong engagement with charged subjects of race and the environment. Featuring 88 oils and watercolors, "Crosscurrents" represents the largest critical overview of Homer’s art and life in more than a quarter of a century.
The exhibition is made possible by The Peter Jay Sharp Foundation.
Corporate sponsorship is provided by Bank of America.
Additional support is provided by the Barrie A. and Deedee Wigmore Foundation, the Terra Foundation for American Art, White & Case LLP, the Enterprise Holdings Endowment, and Ann M. Spruill and Daniel H. Cantwell.
This exhibition is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.
It is organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The National Gallery, London.
The catalogue is made possible by the William Cullen Bryant Fellows of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Additional support is provided by the Wyeth Foundation for American Art and Elizabeth Marsteller Gordon.

How amazing! Although I can't travel to see this exhibit, I was able to walk through it with such loving attention of the curators. Thank you so much.
Without these two wonderful gifted ladies I would not have appreciated Homer’s amazing art work - thank you both 😊
Extraordinary artist. A “must see” for certain.
This video is an absolute education. Before watching it I had some awareness of Homer's work but this Met 'tour' hosted by two knowledgable curators/experts makes a powerful case for the greatness of this artist. For me personally the 'Crosscurrents' exhibition is an absolute 'must see' and if not in New York, then certainly in London when it travels here. Thanks to the Met for organizing the show and for this enlightening video🙏.
Such a beautiful gift to the world. Thank you ladies.
A must see at The Met,
Winslow Homer's art brings me to the east coast of the US, more than that, it brings me the feeling of being on the US east coast.
Thank you for this outstanding presentation! I look forward to seeing this magnificent artist in person!
Why the HEADACHE music? Silence is golden, or at the most something better then mindless "atmosphear".
Thank you! Your presentation of Homer’s work is tremendous.
I love Homer's works.He paintinted one in my town The bluff at Long Branch.
Can’t believe you admitted homer left his paintings ambiguous in meaning.Because wow WOW you sure have imagined a ridiculous amount of story to some of those paintings. Just let the viewers decide!!!
A wonderful tour and commentary on the works of Winslow Homer!
So glad I found this. Watching from Wyoming-Thank You!❇️
Homer's subjects are so different from Vermeer, but that's the only comparison I can make. He handles light the same way Vermeer did. Incredible, incredible artist.
These two women are such a pleasure to listen to - thank you both. I learned so much.
On my way there. Amazing artist.
Great artist
Inspiring
Such an enlightening presentation. I had never seen the fox hunt and it is amazing.
Wonderful! I am looking forward to visiting The Met to see these works in person.
Thank you for sharing. Being on the other side of the world it will be unlikely to visit. A gifted artist indeed.
Beautiful genres of Winslow Homer's time. Wonderful presentation of this fantastic Artist 🎨
The tropical yellow house makes me feel relaxed.
Outstanding
Nicely done ladies!
a wonderful artist
Very interesting presentation - but the idea that a visitor to the Met can stand 12 feet back from a painting to admire it, without having their view blocked by other visitors, is laughable, and proof that curators have no idea what it’s like for civilians to take in a show at the Met. Looking forward to seeing it anyway …
I like this art
Lovely.
I can’t believe there is no mention of the dates of this exhibition. Big oversight, huge.
I absolutely LOATHE the presentation by flitting from one painting to another, and commentary which demands precedence over what should be a viewer's own enjoyment of the paintings.
I got one of his art what should I do
Sometimes a fox is just a fox.
I wish there were a way for these folks to talk about art that dispensed with the fawning, dramatic serious almost pious quality. Blech.
The artist is interesting. The art is interesting. Conversations about art can be fun and enlivening. But these 2 are deadly. Please Met, you can do better.
Or you can just come to the Cape Ann Museum in Gloucester which has his many many Gloucester painting up all-lll the time

Who's even heard of Winslow Homer outside of the US? I think he's superior to Manet.
He's better known than you assume. Saw quite a few Homers in a Madrid museum a few years ago.
Some paintings are just paintings.
Or aren't the moral allegories these two curators wish them to be.
Great artist. It's a pity about the two politically correct women giving the commentary.
That. Was. Not. He's. Last. Paintings.....they. Do. Not. Know what. They. Are. Talking. About m
I think that dude tryed to show background of slavery with that turtle picture and sharks. Kind of its all the same. And this blackdude near sharks(that represents his slavery and white people) have same grimasse of don't giveashit on his face. Kind of he didn't understood the connection, course he don't giveashit
These gallery s like wierd paintings I have better paintings and cant even put them in a gallery I don't understand these people that work in auction s there strange .
Homer was a great artist but some of the morons who wrote in show what we are today.
These women probably went to an old rabbinical Yeshiva, where they learn to read in a text a lot more than what was written, then apply these silly and some times senseless hermeneutic to these amazing paintings. I wonder what Homer would say if he could hear their conversation. This moves me to be sure all my paintings have a clear description written behind each one, so centuries later the students of these women don't read or see what is not there No even a Kabbalist preacher could come up with their absurd interpretations.
