Winslow Homer: From Poetry to Fiction, The Engraved Works

This exhibit is one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of Winslow Homer wood engravings ever to tour American museums, including many never before exhibited or published rare period photographs that relate to Homer's engravings from the early 1860s to the late 1870s. 

With a sensitive and observant eye, Homer observed American society and its environments through many mediums, and with this exhibit we focus on his skillfully executed monochromatic engravings created in the years before the Civil War and the following decade, both mourning a country in turmoil and heralding its rebirth.
