Homer depicted happy scenes of fashionable ladies promenading along the seashore and children frolicking in a meadow after school. But he also gave us disquieting images of isolation and danger. His marine paintings illustrating the untamed, elemental forces of nature are some of the most intense and affecting images he created. This talk will acquaint you with this extraordinary American artist and many of his astonishing works and will prepare you well to enjoy the Boston Museum of Fine Art’s Homer exhibition, opening in November.

Led by Janet Mandel, a retired 32-year art history teacher, who now presents illustrated talks on a variety of art history topics at colleges & universities, libraries, museums, senior centers, and community centers. Sponsored by the Friends of the Vineyard Haven and Tewksbury Libraries.
