Professor Rebecca Bedell's new book, Moved to Tears: Rethinking the Art of the Sentimental in the United States, was highlighted in a recent Washington Post article. Art critic Sebastian Smee writes about Winslow Homer and the two Massachusetts exhibitions of his work up now. Smee agrees that Homer's work operates in the realm of the sentimental, and that this, far from being a weakness in the art, is actually a strength to be admired and respected.
Prof. Bedell's book may be purchased here, or from any number of other vendors.
