1873 -1910 · River, high seas and fisherman's work
Winslow Homer paints fishing as a negotiation with water: tense line, heavy, fast fish or shark measure human skill in the face of a nature that is never docile.
Winslow Homer discovered fishing as a subject very early on during his travels and stays on the North American coast. After his career as an illustrator and his experience of the Civil War, he looked for actions where the body reacted directly to the environment. In Shooting on the Rapids, Saguenay River, the boat and the rowers must read the current before continuing the catch; landscape and sport become inseparable. Lower canal and fishing show a quieter concentration, based on the line, the expectation and the balance of the boat. Halibut fishing leads to maritime work: solid fish, boat bottom and open sea remind us that capture is also one economy and danger. In Shark Fishing, the predator scale immediately changes the relationship between man and water. Homer practices oil and especially watercolor with increasing economy. Washes, reserves and opaque touches restore the shine of the fish, the transparency or the speed of the current without overloading the image. Far from the uniform leisure scene, this collection brings together sport, subsistence and confrontation. Each take reveals a different way of inhabiting water.
