Derweil im Leben von Winslow Homer
Das ganze Leben1888–1903
Trips to Key West
Between 1888 and 1903 Homer frequently visited Key West, Florida; some of his best-known works, “A Norther, Key West”, “The Gulf Stream”, “Taking on Wet Provisions” and “Palms in the Storm”, are said to have been produced there.
c. 1898
Death of his father
Around 1898 Homer's father died; the artist had looked after him like a “parent” since his mother's death, and by 1900 he was free of these responsibilities.
by 1900
Financial security at last
By 1900 Homer had finally reached financial stability: museums paid good prices for his paintings, and he received rents from real estate. He went on producing watercolours, mostly on trips to Canada and the Caribbean, and seascapes without figures: waves crashing against rocks in varying light.
1902
An unusual sculpture and a new gallery
In 1902 Homer exhibited a most unusual work for him, the sculpture “Hunter with Dog – Northwoods”. By then he had switched his primary gallery from Boston's Doll and Richards to Knoedler & Co. in New York.
