Winslow Homer was American painter; illustrator and etcher; one of the two most admired American late 19th-century artists and is considered to be the greatest pictorial poet of outdoor life in the United States and its greatest watercolorist. Nominally a landscape painter; in a sense carrying on Hudson River school attitudes; Homer was an artist of power and individuality whose images are metaphors for the relationship of Man and Nature. A careful observer of visual reality; he was at the same time alive to the purely physical properties of pigment and colour; of line and form; and of the patterns they create.

I found pictures of people I knew - even one of my grandfather and one of my father. Nice to have so much of the history of my hometown all together in one place. Hope he writes another!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great Book and Very Educational.By Viola CookMy whole family and I grew up in Vassar; it is my hometown. There are so many facts that I didnt know and the pictures were amazing; I just love it and will pass it on to my children and grandchildren. Vassar has changed so much and I pray that someday it will be what it was again.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
