Winslow Homer: American Passage

The exhibition Winslow Homer: Crosscurrents opens at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in April to coincide with publication of Winslow Homer: American Passage, a definitive biography of the painter. Both book and exhibit study Homer in the context of how his life as an artist was shaped by the turbulent, dramatic political times he lived through, from the Panic of 1837 to the Civil War and Reconstruction. Filmmaker Ken Burns (The Civil War) comments that curator/author William Cross “has done an admirable job bringing to life this most American of painters.”

Cross discusses Homer and his art with the National Arts Club audience.

Please note: This event will be held virtually.
