This film follows Homer's art from his early illustrations of the Civil War, to his picturesque and charming scenes of the country and shore, and finally to the powerful images of nature that characterize his mature and late work. The film's commentary provides a guide to Homer's artistic progress and achievements—particularly his transformation of watercolor from a purely descriptive to a powerfully expressive vehicle.
