June 6, 2014 - August 24, 2014
This exhibition organized by the Syracuse University Art Galleries highlights Homer’s fascination with coastal and nautical scenes as an illustrator and special correspondent for the American pictorial press. The images include early illustrations for periodicals including Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper and Harper’s Weekly ,as well as rare lithographs and large etchings made after Homer’s paintings. The exhibition defines Homer’s transition from an illustrator of the pre- and post war years through his travels abroad that mark his evolution to the pre-eminent American painter of the late 19th century. This exhibition, curated by Andrew Saluti, Assistant Director of the SUArt Galleries, features forty-one original prints including wood engravings, lithographs, and etchings. The exhibition is drawn from the permanent collection of the Syracuse University Art Collection, and focuses on the illustrious career of Winslow Homer as a draftsman and printmaker. |

The exhibition features five landscapes from the permanent collection painted by George Inness between 1860 and 1882. These stunning works of art reveal the artist’s diverse painting methods and approaches during the middle of his career—from detailed depictions of nature to gestural brushwork and vague landscapes. His paintings, often referred to as Tonalist, were deeply influenced by the spiritual teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg. |
