EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Two Heads, study after Undertow" a remarkable piece created by the renowned artist Winslow Homer in 1886. The print was produced in 1967 using various techniques such as etching, open-bite, stopping out, and scraping on cream laid paper. Measuring at 35x25.4 cm, this artwork is housed in the prestigious Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute located in Williamstown, Massachusetts. It was generously gifted to the institute by Mrs. Doris Homer Cluny from Prouts Neck, Maine. The image depicts two female heads rendered with incredible precision and depth of emotion. One head appears right-side up while the other is positioned upside down, creating an intriguing visual contrast that draws viewers into a world of contemplation. Winslow Homer's masterful use of technique shines through this printmaking masterpiece. The open bite method employed allows for intricate details to emerge while stopping out adds layers of texture and tonal variation. Through careful scraping on the cream laid paper surface, Homer achieves a sense of movement and dynamism within each stroke. "Two Heads" serves as both a study and homage to his earlier work titled "Undertow". This evocative composition invites viewers to delve deeper into the complexities of human expression and introspection. Bridgeman Images proudly presents this extraordinary piece from their collection without commercial intent or mention thereof.
