Winslow Homer and the Adirondacks

This 1996 winner of the John Ben Snow Prize includes color and black and white reproductions of over 100 oils, drawings, prints, and watercolors from the artist's many visits to the region between 1870 and 1910. Tatham casts Homer's early Adirondack works as postbellum pastorals and explores the impact of Darwinian thought on Homer's later works. He examines the concepts of landscape and wilderness, the development of the Adirondack park, and the forest preservation movement. 10x11.25". Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
