Homer, The Life Line
(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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Imagine then his models up on the roof and him drenching them with water to make the effect just right.발음듣기
