The first in-depth exhibition in the UK of the art of Winslow Homer (1836–1910), one of the most celebrated and admired American painters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, will take place at the National Gallery later this year (10 September 2022 – 8 January 2023).

This exhibition, which will display over 50 paintings and watercolours from public and private collections, spanning over 40 years of the artist’s career, is co-organised with The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and presents an opportunity for visitors this side of the Atlantic to discover an artist who, although a household name in America, is not as well known in Europe. There is no painting by Homer in a UK public collection.

The exhibition will be both chronological and thematic and focus on the imagery of conflict and its resolution in Homer’s art. It will address the complex social and geopolitical issues of his era - war, race, class, power - as well as broader concerns with the fragility of human life and dominance of nature, themes that resonate with people today.

As well as being a formidable introduction to the art of Homer, the exhibition will build on the National Gallery’s continuing successful strategy over the last 10 years of introducing British audiences to American art, and follows exhibitions on George Bellows and the Ashcan painters, Frederic Church and Thomas Cole.

Christopher Riopelle, the National Gallery’s Neil Westreich Curator of Post-1800 Paintings, says ‘The opportunity to introduce the gamut of Homer’s achievement to a British audience with many of his most ambitious paintings, and to underline the importance in that career of the two years he spent here at Cullercoats, carries the National Gallery’s commitment to the display and study of American art to a new level.’

National Gallery Director, Dr Gabriele Finaldi, says ‘Little known in Britain, Winslow Homer’s paintings explore the power, grandeur and beauty of nature as well as the dangers it poses to human life. Conflict in human relations, the struggle for survival, and personal isolation are among his themes, treated both poetically and with dazzling technical bravura. The National Gallery is delighted to be sharing this exhibition with The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.’

Exhibition organised by The National Gallery, London, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

The exhibition is curated by Christopher Riopelle, The Neil Westreich Curator of Post-1800 Painting at the National Gallery in collaboration with Stephanie Herdrich, Associate Curator of American Painting and Sculpture, and Sylvia Yount, Lawrence A. Fleischman Curator in Charge of The American Wing at The Met.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition of Winslow Homer’s works (Winslow Homer: Crosscurrents) will be on view from 11 April 2022 to 31 July 2022.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
