Winslow Homer (1836-1910) is regarded by many as the greatest American painter of the nineteenth century. Born and raised in Boston, he began his career at age eighteen in his hometown, working as an apprentice at a printing company. Skilled at drawing, he soon made a name for himself making illustrations for novels, sheet music, magazines, and children’s books. 
溫斯洛 霍默(1836-1910)被很多人認為是 19 世紀最傑出的美國畫家。在波
士頓出生長大,18 歲時,他在他的家鄉開始他的事業,在印刷廠當學徒。因為擅
長畫畫,他很快地在小說、樂譜、雜誌和童書上畫插圖為自己獲得名聲。
He then moved to New York City, where he worked as a freelance illustrator with Harper’s Weekly, a popular magazine of the time, and began painting. Homer was assigned to cover the inauguration of President Lincoln and, later, the Civil War. His pictures of the Union troops won international recognition. Homer moved to England and, after a two-year stay, returned to America. He settled permanently in Maine in 1883. 
之後他搬去紐約,在那裡,他作為一個自由插畫家,為當時很有名的哈潑週刊
畫插畫,並開始畫油畫。霍默被分派去採訪描繪林肯總統的就職典禮以及之後的美
國內戰。他有關聯邦軍的畫作獲得舉世公認。他搬去英國,兩年後又回到美國。1883
年他定居在緬因州。
From the late 1850s until his death in 1910, Winslow Homer produced a body of work distinguished by its thoughtful expression and its independence from artistic conventions. A man of multiple talents, Homer excelled equally in the arts of illustration, oil painting, and watercolor. Many of his works—depictions of children at play and in school, farm girls attending to their work, hunters and their prey—have become classic images of nineteenth-century American life. Others speak to more universal themes such as the primal relationship of humans to nature.
1850 年代後期到 1910 他死去的那一年,溫斯洛 霍默創造出一種能包括充滿
思想的表現方式及跳脫一般藝術家傳統思維的畫風。身為一個多才多藝的人,插
畫、油畫、水彩畫都是霍默擅長的。很多他的作品—像是孩童在學校嬉戲、農村姑
娘忙於農務、獵人及獵物的畫變成十九世紀美國生活的經典形象。其他的就偏向普
世主題像是人與自然的根本的關係。
This two-week exhibition highlights a wide and representative range of Homer’s art.

術成就的機會。
