多选题
1 Winslow Homer, one of the most prominent nineteenth-century painters, was responsible for raising watercolor to its position as an important medium in American art. Homer was a master of watercolor, and his best watercolor paintings equal his larger oil paintings in both structure and intensity. Through long practice, Homer understood and exploited the requirements of watercolor, which he applied where most appropriate--to the recording of immediate experience. He had great powers of visual analysis and never looked at a scene without seeing its underlying structure.
2 Some of Homer's watercolors of the Adirondack woods, with their complicated weaving of vertical tree trunks against a background of deep autumnal tones, are demonstrations of masterful completeness. In one particular Adirondack painting, The Blue Boat (1892), all elements come together with perfect unity: the deep blue of the boat's hull, the green and gold landscape, the alertness of the fishermen, the brilliant clouds and their reflections on the water. Furthermore, its design unites the structural elements with the artist's enjoyment of marking and coloring the paper--all are blended as though in a single moment of vision and action.
