EDITORS COMMENTS
Saved," a captivating masterpiece by renowned American artist Winslow Homer, dates back to the late 19th century, specifically the 1880s. This black and white etching, now a cherished addition to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, transports us back in time to a simpler era in American history. The image depicts a determined and resilient woman, dressed in traditional attire, wading through turbulent waters. She clutches a wire with both hands, her eyes fixed on the horizon, as she bravely navigates the treacherous currents. The woman's unwavering focus and strength are palpable, embodying the spirit of perseverance and survival. The geographical feature in the background is not explicitly identified, but the image evokes a sense of isolation and ruggedness, perhaps representing the vast, untamed waters of the American coastline. Homer's expert use of contrast and tone in this black and white etching adds depth and texture to the scene, further emphasizing the woman's heroic struggle. "Saved" is a poignant reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the United States and the enduring power of art to evoke emotion and transport us to another time and place. This iconic work by Winslow Homer continues to captivate audiences and inspire artists to this day. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art is proud to preserve and showcase "Saved," ensuring that future generations can appreciate the beauty and significance of this historic piece of American art.
