"The Sun will not rise, or set, without my notice, andthanks," wrote Winslow Homer to his brotherCharles, putting into words what drove his art (1). All hislife, the artist "noticed"—not just the rising and setting sunfrom his home near the ocean at Prouts Neck, Maine, buteverything around him: people; scenery of his hunting andfishing trips; wildlife, which he painted with passion;objects and details others would never imagine the subjectof art; and the effect, movement, and inner life of these. Ashe gave drawing instructions to his friend and fellow artistJames Edward Kelly (1855–1933), Homer once said, "Youshould practice drawing old shoes and getting their charac-ter….You should practice drawing high hats…. There is agreat deal of drawing in a high hat, to get not only itscurves, but its delicate variations in the outline which givesit style" (2).

机译：温斯洛·荷马对他的兄弟查尔斯写道：“没有我的通知，太阳就不会升起或落下，并致以感谢。”他用文字推动了他的艺术发展（1）。艺术家一生都“注意到”了他的生命，不仅是缅因州缅因州Prouts Neck附近海边的家中冉冉升起的夕阳，而且他周围的一切：人;他打猎和钓鱼的风景;他充满激情地绘画的野生动物;其他人无法想象的物体和细节;以及这些的效果，动作和内在生命。当阿什（Ashe）向他的朋友和艺术家詹姆斯·爱德华·凯利（James Edward Kelly，1855-1933年）发出绘画指示时，荷马曾说过：“你应该练习画旧鞋子并得到他们的性格……。你应该练习画高帽……。不仅要获得其曲线，而且要获得轮廓上的细微变化以赋予其样式”（2）。
