The atmospheric, rarely-seen watercolors of Winslow Homer

New from MFA Publications, Winslow Homer in Watercolor is published to accompany MFA Boston’s landmark exhibition of the artist’s works on paper—on view for the first time in half a century due to their inherent light sensitivity. Renowned for their immediacy, experimentation and astonishing ability to capture ephemeral qualities like light, water current and air, Homer’s watercolors are considered among the best in American art history. Featured here, “The Adirondack Guide” (1894).
