WINSLOW HOMER. Flower Garden and Bungalow, Bermuda

Flower Garden and Bungalow, Bermuda. Artist: Winslow Homer (American, Boston, Massachusetts 1836-1910 Prouts Neck, Maine). Dimensions: 13 15/16 x 20 15/16 in. (35.4 x 53.2 cm). Date: 1899.
Beginning in 1884, Homer made many winter visits to tropical locations and watercolor became his preferred medium while traveling. In contrast to his weighty and carefully considered Cullercoats watercolors, his tropical pictures were lighter in handling and less formal in composition. In late 1885 and early 1886, he went to Florida, painting in Tampa and Key West. He returned in 1890, staying in the fishing community of Enterprise on the St. Johns River and painting watercolors notable for their fluid washes and delicate color harmonies. During the winter of 1898-99, Homer was once again in the Bahamas. In one of the most productive periods of his later years, he created at least twenty-five watercolors, distinguished from those of 1884-85 by even brighter light, more saturated colors, broader strokes, and far less use of pencil underdrawing. Similar quantities and even looser handling are found in the watercolors such as this one, which he painted during his visit to Bermuda in 1899.
Homer's mature watercolors are suggestive and experimental, immediate responses to visual experience. Although these works look effortless, they were carefully planned, and even the most assured among them reveals the artist's changes and corrections. "You will see, in the future I will live by my watercolors," Homer is reported to have said. His prediction was accurate: his watercolors provided him with a handsome income, they have never ceased to be admired, and their influence on artists of succeeding generations has been profound.

Titel:
Flower Garden and Bungalow, Bermuda
Untertitel:
Automatische Übersetzung: Blumengarten und Bungalow, Bermuda. Künstler: Winslow Homer (Amerikanische, Boston, Massachusetts 1836-1910 Prouts Neck, Maine). Abmessungen: 13 15/16 x 20 15/16 in. (35,4 x 53,2 cm). Datum: 1899. Ab 1884 unternahm Homer im Winter viele Besuche an tropischen Orten und Aquarelle wurden zu seinem bevorzugten Medium auf Reisen. Im Gegensatz zu seinen gewichtigen und sorgfältig durchdachten Aquarellen von Cullercoats waren seine tropischen Bilder leichter in der Handhabung und weniger formal in der Komposition. Ende 1885 und Anfang 1886 ging er nach Florida und malte in Tampa und Key West. Er kehrte 1890 zurück, blieb in der Fischergemeinde Enterprise am St. Johns River und malte Aquarelle, die sich durch ihre fließenden Lavierungen und zarten Farbharmonien auszeichneten. Im Winter 1898/99 war Homer erneut auf den Bahamas. In einer der produktivsten Perioden seiner späteren Jahre schuf er mindestens fünfundzwanzig Aquarelle, die sich von denen von 1884-85 durch noch helleres Licht, gesättigtere Farben, breitere Striche und weit weniger Verwendung von Bleistiftzeichnungen unterschieden. Ähnliche Mengen und eine noch lockerere Handhabung finden sich in Aquarellen wie diesem, das er während seines Besuchs auf Bermuda im Jahr 1899 malte. Homers reife Aquarelle sind suggestiv und experimentell, unmittelbare Reaktionen auf visuelle Erfahrungen. Obwohl diese Arbeiten mühelos aussehen, wurden sie sorgfältig geplant, und selbst die sichersten unter ihnen zeigen die Änderungen und Korrekturen des Künstlers. ?Du wirst sehen, in Zukunft werde ich von meinen Aquarellen leben?, soll Homer gesagt haben. Seine Vorhersage war zutreffend: Seine Aquarelle verschafften ihm ein stattliches Einkommen, sie wurden nie aufgehört, bewundert zu werden, und ihr Einfluss auf die Künstler nachfolgender Generationen war tiefgreifend.
