Winslow
Homer, was the
greatest American painter of the 19th century. His subjects are
touchingly familiar: the Civil War soldier, the country school, the
emancipated slave.
This volume includes a broad selection of his
paintings and watercolors, each profoundly symbolic of the main currents
of American life from the Civil War to the turn of the century.
