Winslow Homer (1836-1910)
Summer Night
This painting had the most badass write up at Dreams & Reality.
A limited palette of blue, bluish-green, slate grey and greyish-brown, offset by violent touches of yellow and white, creates a poetic effect, dreamlike and imaginary. It expresses the ephemeral, life’s sweetness and illusions, pitched against the secrets and strength of the elements, and the unknown universe of the night and the infinite. The mysterious bonds between the sea and human destiny, and the tension that this painting contains, link it to European Symbolism.
