For Ethan Lasser, John Moors Cabot Chair, Art of the Americas, Winslow Homer’s "The Blue Boat" (1892) evokes the landscape of the North Woods in the Adirondacks to such a degree that he can hear the scene. In this one-minute video, hear the cocurator of “Of Light and Air: Winslow Homer in Watercolor” explain why this is one of the artist’s greatest watercolors.
