Of Light & Air: Winslow Homer in Watercolor

                                                                                                   Winslow Homer
  

The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, MA, is putting together a major exhibition this fall, of watercolors by Winslow Homer. The show is titled: Of Light & Air: Winslow Homer in Watercolor, running from November 2, 2025 - January 19, 2026.

The Museum of Fine Arts has the largest collection of Homer watercolors in the world, many not having been exhibited in nearly half a century.

The exhibit is accompanied by a forthcoming book from MFA Publications, which I am more than eager to acquire.

I took this photograph of one of Winslow Homer's best loved watercolors, Blue Boat (1892), from a book I have featuring his work. It's my favorite book on Homer and was published by Yale University Press for the National Gallery of Art to accompany a traveling exhibition (1995-1996) at the National Gallery of Art (Washington, D.C.), Museum of Fine Arts (Boston), and The Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York).
