Focusing on the important, yet often-overlooked, role that photography played in Homer's art, this volume exposes Homer's own experiments with the camera (he first bought one in 1882). It also explores how the medium of photography and the larger visual economy influenced his work as a painter, watercolorist, and printmaker at a moment when new print technologies inundated the public with images. Frank Goodyear and Dana Byrd demonstrate that photography offered Homer new ways of seeing and representing the world, from his early commercial engravings sourced from contemporary photographs to the complex relationship between his late-career paintings of life in the Bahamas, Florida, and Cuba and the emergent trend of tourist photography. The authors argue that Homer's understanding of the camera's ability to create an image that is simultaneously accurate and capable of deception was vitally important to his artistic practice in all media. Richly illustrated and full of exciting new discoveries, \u003ci\u003eWinslow Homer and the Camera \u003c\/i\u003eis a long-overdue examination of the ways in which photography shaped the vision of one of America's most original painters. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the Bowdoin College Museum of Art \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBowdoin College Museum of Art\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (06\/22\/18-10\/28\/18)\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrandywine River Museum of Art, Chadds Ford, PA\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (11\/17\/18-02\/17\/19)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank H.
