Scientific evidence has shown that the sky in Winslow Homer's watercolor "For to be a Farmer's Boy" (1887) once glowed with color. A Northwestern University chemist and an Art Institute of Chicago conservation scientist are working to determine exactly what those colors were. They are using a powerful analytical technique called surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy, which requires much less material...

Lininess! The liney/painterly dichotomy persists to this day, and in the century since [Winslow] Homer's last works it has taken many forms. The dry, burnished literalism of Grant Wood and Charles Sheeler followed the ebullient impressionism of Childe Hassam and William Merritt Chase.

I've always loved watercolors. Today's art lesson, (well) after Winslow Homer. Watching 20 second graders painting boats, seas, and skies, I couldn't resist. Maybe I feel lighter because I've managed to slog through so much work, but I think the painting helped, a little.

Image found here. You can see the full image here. While I wasn't able to make it to Chicago to see the big Edward Hopper-Winslow Homer exhibition, my colleague Larry the movie guy was. While there, he bought the exhibition catalogue for the Hopper portion of the exhibit and has been kind enough to let me have a look at it. So far, it's been sitting unopened on my coffee table.

What more urban pursuit could their be than going to art exhibits? I had the opportunity recently to check out two of them: the Edward Hopper/Winslow Homer exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago, and a fashion oriented exhibit called Breaking the Mode at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
