🎨Winslow Homer
Winslow Homer | The Gulf Stream - 1899 - Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City
The Gulf Stream shows a man in a small dismasted rudderless fishing boat struggling against the waves of the sea, and was the artist's statement on a theme that had interested him for more than a decade.
Chronologically the first of a series of major works painted by Homer in the last decade of his life, The Gulf Stream was painted in the penultimate year of the century, the year after the death of his father, and has been seen as revealing his sense of abandonment or vulnerability.
Winslow Homer | After the Hurricane - 1899
After the Hurricane, perhaps it's the sequel to The Gulf Stream, "is among Homer’s most astonishing and ambitious watercolors for its sheer technical virtuosity and epic subject matter"

Shark Fishing - 1885
Homer in his studio. In 1859, he opened a studio in the Tenth Street Studio Building in New York City, the artistic and publishing capital of the United States.
Until 1863, he attended classes at the National Academy of Design, and studied briefly with Frédéric Rondel, who taught him the basics of painting. In only about a year of self-training, Homer was producing excellent oil work. His mother tried to raise family funds to send him to Europe for further study but instead Harper's sent Homer to the front lines of the American Civil War (1861–1865), where he sketched battle scenes and camp life, the quiet moments as well as the chaotic ones.

Passing bells and sculpted angels
Cold and monumental
Seem for you the wrong companions
You were warm and gentle
Too many years
Fighting back tears
Why can't the past just die?
