If you only see nature as something far from humankind, you're bound to live with limited perspective. As much of my adventure occurs in deep wilderness as it does close to civilization. There are wild sights in every place where nature gets a grip. Here I stand on the Central Avenue bridge, where Fales River flows below. Sure, there are cars passing pretty steady on the road behind me, but all I see is wildness in the world beyond. Consider it waiting inspiration for any in need, maybe some kid like me biking past, wondering where it all goes, and why not follow? That's how I started all those years back. I took a turn, then another one, then pulled up and started walking. I still haven't gotten where I'm going, or maybe, I've already arrived a thousand times before.

This lion was so konked out he didn't notice the bird that had landed on its mane... or did the bird knock out the lion? Hmmm....

A solitary hunter, dead goose over his shoulder and gun in hand, contemplates the titanic force of the sea along the frozen Maine coast. With the flick of his brush and a stark palette of earthen tones, Homer conveys the elemental relationship between humankind and 'wild nature' that remained his primary subject throughout the 1890s.

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.

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.

Oil on canvas
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.

Oil on canvas
In Homer's last canvas, a lone protagonist attempts to collect a large piece of driftwood that has been carried to the rocky shore at Prouts Neck. The man's task seems futile. Seen from behind, he is a surrogate not only for the artist facing death, but also for the many sailors Homer depicted confronting the enduring power of nature over the years. Homer died in his Prouts Neck studio in September 1910, at the age of 74.
