The Studio
Winslow Homer American
American artists eager to maintain their connections to adventures abroad imported European bohemianism to studio life back home, providing them with novel subject matter. Whether Homer painted The Studio during his eleven-month stay in Paris or later, while in New York, this informal scene of music making reveals a French influence in both form and content. Throughout the 1860s and ’70s, Homer enjoyed an active social life, occupying studios in a variety of purpose-built, all-male facilities, including the University Building and the Benedick Building, both on Washington Square, and the Tenth Street Studio Building.
