Winslow Homer : an American vision

Griffin, Randall C. (Author). Homer, Winslow 1836-1910 (Added Author).

Summary: "This book is the first comprehensive critical survey of the artist written in the last decade and includes every one of his major paintings alongside a selection of his lesser known etchings and woodcuts. Griffin's thoroughly research yet readable study not only presents a full account of Homer's life and work, but also a fresh and provocative reassessment of his place in the history of American art."--Jacket.
