Michele & Donald D'Amour Museum of Fine Arts Watercolor Exhibition

from ArtKnowledgeNews:
Winslow Homer’s important painting The New Novel is among the most well-known works in the museum’s collection. Long respected for his oil paintings, Homer’s interest in watercolor emerged in the early 1870s. The painting was shown by the artist in the 1877 annual exhibition of the American Watercolor Society and marked the beginning of his mature style. His early watercolors depict America’s rural life as well as the seaside.
