Description: Vintage Mid Century Wormy Chestnut Framed Print "The Gulf Stream" Winslow Homer. A man faces his demise on a dismasted, rudderless fishing boat, sustained by only a few stalks of sugarcane, while threatened by sharks and a distant waterspout. He is oblivious to the schooner on the left horizon, which Homer later added to the composition as a sign of hopeful rescue. Painted shortly after the death of his father, in 1898, the painting has been interpreted as an expression of the artists presumed sense of mortality and vulnerability. The Gulf Stream also references some of the complex social and political issues of the erawar, the legacy of slavery, and American imperialismas well as more universal concerns with the fragility of human life and the dominance of nature. There are some signs of wear to the print, but the wormy chestnut frame is in excellent vintage condition. Please inspect photos carefully for verification. All questions are welcomed.
