Overview: 53 paintings, watercolors, drawings, etchings, and wood engravings constituted this survey of works by American artist Winslow Homer from the collection of the National Gallery of Art. The exhibition spanned Homer's entire career, from his early Civil War painting Home Sweet Home (c. 1863) to late watercolors of tropical landscapes and his hunting scene Right and Left (1909), completed less than 2 years before his death.

Family workshops in which children were encouraged to explore nature in Homer's work and create their own art were held on 2 weekends in July and August. The family workshops were made possible by ChoicePoint Government Services.

Organization: The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington. Franklin Kelly, senior curator of American and British paintings, was the curator.

Sponsor: The exhibition was sponsored by Siemens.
