Oil on canvas
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.

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.

Peau artificielle (gelcoat, résine teintée, poudre de marbre, fibre de verre) ossature acier, plantes sélectionnées parmi les recettes de magie noire (dont Cornus Sanguinea, Cornus alba Siberica, Salix Alba Chermesina, Hamamelis, Sedum
Marguerite Humeau est née en 1986 à Cholet, France, vit et travaille à Londres, Royaume-Uni.
Le Bosquet de l'Arc de Triomphe est le premier du parcours du Voyage d'Hiver, qui s'ouvre avec l'installation de Marguerite Humeau titrée Riddles (Sphinx Otto Protecting Earth from Humankind). Le Sphinx fut la première sculpture installée dans le jardin par Louis XIV, comme pour indiquer une mise en garde; l'omniprésence de l'énigme du vivant en ces lieux. Métaphore des dispositifs sécuritaires contemporains, le Sphinx Otto protège la planète des dangers et menaces provoqués par les humains. Le visiteur parcourt un labyrinthe végétal aux couleurs sanguines et à la chair empoisonnée pour faire face à une énigme totale et silencieuse, celle de notre humanité et de ses cyvles, de la condition de nos existences, de l’équilibre fragile de notre rapport au monde

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.
