Boys in a Dory (1880) by Winslow Homer Satin Art Poster Upscale Home Decor
From the late 1850s until his death, Winslow Homer (Boston, Massachusetts, 1836 - Prout's Neck, Maine, 1910) produced a body of work distinguished by its thoughtful expression and its independence from artistic conventions. A man of multiple talents, Homer excelled equally in the arts of illustration, oil painting, and watercolour. Many of his works, depictions of children at play and in school, of farm girls attending to their work, hunters and their prey, have become classic images of nineteenth-century American life. Others speak to more universal themes such as the primal relationship of man to nature.
