This remarkably bold oil sketch of a Cullercoats scene was likely produced after Homer's return to the US. (At Cullercoats, he painted almost exclusively in watercolour) Homer deeply admired the local volunteer lifesaving crews that he witnessed in action there. Here, the rescue team anticipates their encounter with a roiling sea. Broadly painted and pared down to essential details, this depiction of imminent danger echoes Homer's Civil War paintins such as Sharpshooter and Defiance.

Winslow Homer: Force of Nature
(September 2022 – January 2023)
[A]n overview of Winslow Homer (1836–1910), the great American Realist painter who confronted the leading issues facing the United States, and its relationship with both Europe and the Caribbean world, in the final decades of the 19th century.
Homer’s career spanned a turning point in North American history. He lived through the American Civil War and the abolition of slavery, so-called Reconstruction, and war with the last colonial European power in the Americas, Spain.
From his sketches of battle and camp life, to dazzling tropical views and darker restless seascapes, the works reflect Homer’s interest in the pressing issues of his time; conflict, race, and the relationship between humankind and the environment – issues still relevant for us today.
After the war, Homer’s subject became the lives of Americans in the wake of the war and abolition with a focus on the lives of formerly enslaved African Americans.
Homer travelled to France, England, the Bahamas, Cuba and Bermuda. In England, he painted scenes of heroism and resilience that he saw while staying in Cullercoats, a town on the North East coast. In the Caribbean, his paintings became more vivid as he painted the transparent turquoise waters and lush vegetation. His interest in conflict remained constant and he often explored the issue through painting the life and struggles of Black people.
With more than fifty paintings, covering over forty years of Homer’s career, 'Winslow Homer: Force of Nature' is part of a programme of exhibitions that introduce major American artists to a UK and European audience and follows on from our exhibitions about George Bellows and the Ashcan painters, Frederic Church and Thomas Cole.

Every year on 18 April, The humankind celebrates the “International Day for Monuments and Sites”, which was approved by the 22nd UNESCO General Conference in 1983.
The International Day aims to encourage visiting Monuments and Sites in local communities and individuals throughout the world to consider the importance of cultural heritage to their lives, identities, promoting awareness of how to protect and conserve the antiquities.
According to UNESCO World Heritage list, there are 981 monuments; Egypt in this list has 7 sites:
Abu Mena
Ancient Thebes with its Necropolis
Historic Cairo
Memphis and its Necropolis – the Pyramid Fields from Giza to Dahshur
Nubian Monuments from Abu Simbel to Philae
Saint Catherine Area
Wadi Al-Hitan (Whale Valley)
The photos show Memphis and its Necropolis – the Pyramid Fields from Giza to Dahshur, precisely The Pyramid of Djoser (or Zoser), or step pyramid which is located in the Saqqara necropolis. It was built during the 27th century BC for the burial of Pharaoh Djoser. Zoser Pyramid is considered the first Egyptian pyramid consisted of six mastabas built atop one another in what were clearly revisions and developments of the original plan.

Homer referred to this work as a 'sketch' inspired by a wreck he witnessed along a treacherous shoreline of sand dunes not far from his studio in Prouts Neck, Maine. The painting, with its subdued palette and minimal detail, reduces the urgent confronation between people and nature to the essentials. The visual effect and atmosphere of the work take precedence over a clear storyline.

On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 touched down on the lunar surface, safely delivering Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin — the first humans to land on the moon. The Swiss Solar Wind Composition Experiment, of the University of Bern and the Swiss National Science Foundation, was the only non-American experiment to be part of the Apollo landings. Where do we stand after 50 years, and where are we headed? We gathered with astronauts, scientists, and artists to discuss the past, the future, and our inspiration for the unknown space.
This event was a collaboration of the Consulate General of Switzerland’s Swiss Touch campaign with swissnex San Francisco and the Exploratorium, and presented as part of swissnex San Francisco’s SciComm Studio series.

Here, Homer studied details he would include in The Gulf Stream. By placing brightly coloured stalks of sugarcane at the centre of his composition and writing that 'the subject of this picture is comprised in its title', Homer may be referring obliquely to the institution of slavery. Sugar was a central commodity in the triangular trade between Europe, Africa and the Americas. The Gulf Stream current played an essential role in both transporting it and in the trafficking of enslaved people.

Dark clouds threaten, while several tall palms are lashed by violent winds. Homer's attention to stormy weather distinguishes this from the more idyllic images he produced during his earlier trip to The Bahamas, in 1884-5. He signals the archipelago's status as a Crown colony by including the Red Ensign. This detail combined with the tempestuous weather may evoke the geopolitical turmoil elsewhere in the Caribbean that year, specifically the US military occupation of Cuba and Puerto Rico.
