Homer’s pictures cast a wide and deep appeal, yet few facts were known of the life of the man behind the art until Cross’s biography was published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in April 2022. The story of Homer’s life illuminates the stories embedded in his art and the stories of our own times.  Homer’s art and life relate closely to the struggles of today. As people of all races, ages and places look together at our shared visual heritage, we may find new ways to understand one another and ourselves. If you have questions about book club and membership at the PMA you are welcome to reach out to our Annual Gifts Officer, Lily Spearsmith, at [email protected] or (207) 318-2055. 

We look forward to discussing Winslow Homer: American Passage  with you!
