His early work in the 1850s and 1860s as a commercial illustrator for magazines such as Harper’s Weekly and Ballou’s Pictorial is well documented; less well known is the series of etchings Homer completed later in his career, between 1884 and 1889, which he counted among his finest artistic achievements, asserting that they were “as good work .\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. . as I ever did.”   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis book is the first to foreground the role of Homer’s understudied etchings within his growing stature as an artist and his evolving strategies in the rapidly evolving nineteenth-century pictorial landscape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMost of these prints revisit subjects of popular oil paintings and watercolors by the artist, including The Life Line (1884), Eight Bells (1886), and Mending the Nets (1882), and highlight his captivation with the medium through extravagant linework, lush details, and a dazzling variety of intaglio techniques. Featuring essays by respected scholars and curators, and illustrated with dozens of objects and comparative images that document progressive work across states, this book will enthrall Homer enthusiasts as it reorients the importance of the artist’s etching practice within his prolific oeuvre and against the backdrop of late nineteenth-century American art.   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublished in association with the Portland Museum of Art  Exhibition Schedule:   Portland Museum of Art, Maine July 3–October 18, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eRamey Mize, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eassociate curator of American art at the Portland Museum of Art, Maine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eHardcover:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e 208 pages | 104 colour and black and white illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eDate published:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e July 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e English\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e9780300286861\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e 26.1 x 21.1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003ecm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Portland Museum of Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57067237998970,"sku":"9780300286861","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0915\/8302\/files\/winslow-homer-painter-etcher-9780300286861-1249024511.jpg?v=1784021199","url":"https:\/\/www.museumbookstore.com\/products\/winslow-homer-painter-etcher","provider":"Museum Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
