Homer, The Life Line발음듣기

(piano music) Female: If it seem a painting of a woman being rescued from a shipwreck by a courageous man, whose risking his life would be filled with sentiment and emotion.발음듣기

What's so wonderful to me about Winslow Homer is the lack of that sentiment.발음듣기

We have this dramatic moment.발음듣기

Homer has not exploited it emotionally.발음듣기

Male: In fact he's even hidden the face of the hero.발음듣기

Female: That's a remarkable decision when you think about it.발음듣기

The man whose saving this woman's life, his face is completely obscured by this scarf that just happens at this moment to have [whipped] in front of his face.발음듣기

Of course, this isn't a photograph.발음듣기

Male: This incredible sense of kind of selfless heroism.발음듣기

These paintings by Homer were recognizes inherently American. Their themes, I think, still resonate with us.발음듣기

When you listen to somebody whose performed a dramatic rescue, perhaps on the nightly news, they also push the camera away.발음듣기

There is a way in which we want to be selfless in these moments.발음듣기

Female: We have a real feeling of watching this drama unfold.발음듣기

Male: The emphasis is almost on the mechanics of the rescue.발음듣기

This was a new technology that allowed for the rescue of people from ships near the shore.발음듣기

You can just make out the loose sail billowing in the upper left corner.발음듣기

You can see people who are watching the rescue on rocks at the upper right.발음듣기

In fact, that rope bows down and we can feel the weight of these figures as they skirt with their feet, this terrifying surf.발음듣기

The colors and the tones their so subdued and they create the sense of the freezing menace of the water.발음듣기

It's not just that they're soaked through.발음듣기

They don't have much time.발음듣기

That woman is unconscious and close to freezing to death.발음듣기

There is this real sense of urgency.발음듣기

Female: So, we look at the water we see grey's, pale blues, and tones of white.발음듣기

Lots of different kinds of brush strokes from little dabs of paint that suggest the water is spraying upward, to longer strokes that suggest the force of the waves.발음듣기

Male: I actually love that area just at the cliffs on the upper right.발음듣기

You can see the spray dissolving even the solid blacks.발음듣기

If you look at the waves immediately below the cliffs, you can see the translucently where the wave is very thin and light moves through it.발음듣기

Female: Look at mans right foot in the water.발음듣기

You feel it dragging in the way that it's slowing them down as they move along this pulley.발음듣기

Male: There's a real sense of the particulars that make this seem so immediate, and I love the way the water drips from that cord.발음듣기

Female: Somehow, the paint seems wet as though there were water spraying up from below that the clothes the figures are wearing is soaked through.발음듣기

Male: In fact, in someway this painting is a nude.발음듣기

The woman is wearing a dress that is absolutely proper, but her outfit is so laden with water that it follows the contours of her body.발음듣기

Female: Look at the drops of water from her right hand. He could really paint.발음듣기

Male: If you follow her hips down there's just a little bit of skin that's exposed just above her knee.발음듣기

You see that perhaps her petticoat below her dress. I can almost imagine a 19th century viewer wanting to pull that down to retrieve her modesty.발음듣기

Female: This really typical of the subject that Homer painted later in his career when he lived in Maine. This idea of man and the forces of nature, and the futility of mans efforts in the face of nature.발음듣기

Although in this case we do have a successful struggle.발음듣기

Male: Obviously, Homer didn't paint this on a beach watching a rescue.발음듣기

The painting is based loosely on a fairly recent rescue of the coast in New Jersey, but was actually posed in New York City in where he kept his studio even after he had moved to Prouts Neck. 발음듣기

This was a studio building on West 10th Street. 발음듣기

Imagine then his models up on the roof and him drenching them with water to make the effect just right.발음듣기

He recognized as a brilliant painter in his own day.발음듣기

He was honored as the foremost American painter. (piano music) 발음듣기
