The catalogue represents several firsts in American art scholarship. Homer’s work in New York's Adirondacks Quebec and Florida represents nearly his entire watercolor output in the last twenty years of his life. The authors have tracked Homer’s travels to various popular fishing locations following his footsteps as closely as possible thus giving added dimension to the sites and subjects in the watercolors. Moreover the book offers an overview of sporting art in Homer’s time a field that has been largely overlooked by art historians though the genre attracted not just Homer but other eminent painters of his day. The catalogue brings together fresh insights by acknowledged authorities. -- Publishers Weekly - - Homer's reputation has been on the rise lately with his quintessentially "American" watercolors and drawings the subjects of major retrospectives revealing the breadth of his achievement. This volume takes a narrower look by focusing on the place of fish and fishing in Homer's life and work. Junker is curator of paintings and sculpture at the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth Texas and Burns is a professor of fine arts at Indiana University Bloomington. This catalogue accompanies their co-curated exhibition of the same name opening in December 2002 in San Francisco before moving on to Fort Worth. It covers everything from Homer's fishing camp in Prout's Neck Maine to the trout illustrations from which Homer copped some of his pictorial fish. Of its 184 illustrations 123 are in color with an emphasis on full-page reproduction of watercolors including The Angler 1874 showing a raffish bearded man casting with panache into a cascading river. While the quality of the scholarship is undeniable this book's appeal will likely be limited to piscatorially inclined figurative art enthusiasts-which judging from the amount of cable TV devoted to fishing and painting may not be an insignificant demographic. -- with a bonus offer--; 520-Junkep; Junker Patricia; Burns Sarah Winslow Homer: Artist and Angler This book was published by Thames and Hudson in association with the Amon Carter Museum and Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco in 2002.
