WINSLOW HOMER. Fishing Boats, Key West

Fishing Boats, Key West. Artist: Winslow Homer (American, Boston, Massachusetts 1836-1910 Prouts Neck, Maine). Dimensions: 13 15/16 x 21 3/4 in. (35.4 x 55.2 cm). Date: 1903. Few of Homer's watercolors rival this one for its effects of simmering sunlight and steamy atmosphere, achieved through the speed of application of wet on wet washes, the broad and dexterous exploitation of the white paper reserve, and the judicious sponging of wet pigment, especially in the shadows, reflecting light off the water. This picture is also exceptional for the number and visibility of its pencil marks, not only to indicate some of the boats' rigging (and betraying the pentimento of a sloop in the background that the artist edited out) but also to enliven the rustle of the sailcloth lifted by a phantom breeze. By contrast, Homer, in masterly fashion, merely daubed in the figures freehand, sacrificing nothing of their form and weight; they even seem to speak.

Fishing Boats, Key West
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Barcos de pesca, Key West. Artista: Winslow Homer (American, Boston, Massachusetts, 1836-1910 Prouts Neck, Maine). Dimensiones: 13 15/16 x 21 3/4 pulg. (35,4 x 55,2 cm). Fecha: 1903. Pocas acuarelas de Homero rivalizan con esta por sus efectos de luz solar hirviendo y atmósfera humeante, logrados mediante la velocidad de aplicación de lavados húmedos sobre húmedos, la amplia y diestra explotación de la reserva de papel blanco y el juicioso esponjamiento de los húmedos. pigmento, especialmente en las sombras, que refleja la luz del agua. Esta imagen también es excepcional por el número y la visibilidad de sus marcas de lápiz, no sólo para indicar algunos de los aparejos de los barcos (y delatando el pentimento de una balandra en el fondo que el artista eliminó) sino también para avivar el susurro de las Lona levantada por una brisa fantasmal. Por el contrario, Homero, de manera magistral, simplemente pintó las figuras a mano alzada, sin sacrificar nada de su forma y peso; incluso parecen hablar
