New father lore dropped today that is too upsetting for me to share re his endlessly awful childhood

Someone invent a time machine so I can go back to the 60's and kick teeth in around Cullercoats

#challenge for any adult in my father's childhood to not have catastrophically failed him

Wow, wish I'd known that yesterday! The Laing Art Gallery is just across the road from the city library, I would have called in. I posted a painting by Winslow Homer ages ago, 'The Fox Hunt', will add link tomorrow. I posted another of his paintings recently of a man in a boat surrounded by sharks, but deleted it in an editing session, I might re-add it later. How strange he lived in Cullercoats, I wonder what drew him there. I'm going back to Newcastle in the next couple of months so I will pop in then and view his artwork in person, and also visit Cullercoats itself.

UPDATE: OK, so I've tracked down my blog post of 2020 (here) which discusses the work of Winslow Homer. Turns out I wrote quite a bit and the piece mentions Cullercoats (but not why he, an American born in Boston, Massachusetts, ended up living in a small fishing village on the north-east coast of England for two years - I'm guessing he perhaps had ancestral roots in that region?). I've only scan-read the piece, as it may need editing and I don't want to get involved with that right now!

Wat?   The Gale (1883-1893), The Life Line (1884), The Undertow (1886), Oranges on a Branch (1885), A wall, Nasau (1898) en Hurricane, Barbados (1898) door Winslow Homer

Waar?   Tentoonstelling Winslow Homer – Force of Nature in de National Gallery, Londen

Wanneer?   6 januari 2023

Twee keer bezocht Winslow Homer Europa. De eerste keer trok hij naar Parijs, waar hij kennis maakte met actuele ontwikkelingen in de Europese kunst. Zijn tweede bezoek, in 1881, had Engeland als doel. Na een kort verblijf in Londen trok hij naar het vissersplaatsje Cullercoats, waar hij anderhalf jaar verbleef. Hij schilderde de dagelijkse bezigheden van zowel mannelijke als vrouwelijke inwoners. Een van de bekendste werken uit deze periode is The Gale (De storm).

Zeelandschappen blijven in de loop van Homers leven een belangrijke rol spelen. De gevaren van de zee en de dreigende kracht van het water zijn vaak prominent aanwezig. Na zijn terugkeer uit Engeland vestigde Homer zich op het schiereiland Prouts Neck in Maine. Hier werkte hij de thema’s waar hij in Cullercoats mee was begonnen verder uit. Een bekend werk is The Life Line, Met behulp van een recent ontwikkelde techniek brengt een reddingswerker een vrouw in veiligheid. De woeste weersomstandigheden en de hoge golven vormen echter minstens zozeer het onderwerp van dit werk als de heroïsche daad van de reddingswerker. Opmerkelijk is dat diens gezicht geheel onzichtbaar is door opwaaiende kleding van de drenkelinge.

Een andere reddingspoging schilderde Homer twee jaar later. Twee mannen proberen twee vrouwelijke drenkelingen aan land te slepen, maar de met water volgezogen badkostuums van de vrouwen trekken hen naar beneden en bemoeilijken zo het werk van de mannen. Opvallend in dit schilderij zijn de reddingswerkers, die met hun sculpturaal vormgegeven lijven zo ontleend kunnen zijn aan de Griekse oudheid. Ook kan ik me niet helemaal onttrekken aan een vergelijking met socialistisch-realistische schilderijen uit de Sovjettijd. Als je goed kijkt, zie je (tussen het opspattende water door) dat rechtsboven op een rots een drietal figuren staan toe te kijken. Hoe vaag en klein ze ook zijn weergegeven, je ziet dat ze moeite hebben overeind te blijven in de storm.

Vanuit Maine reisde Homer regelmatig naar Florida en tropische bestemmingen als de Bahama’s. Hoe anders dan zijn werk uit Cullercoats en Prouts Neck ogen de schilderijen die hij daar maakte! Hij werkte in deze zonnige oorden meestal in waterverf in plaats van olieverf en de gebruikte kleuren zijn aanzienlijk feller dan die in Homers zeelandschappen. De meeste werken baden in tropische zonlicht. Ook in de tropen is het echter niet altijd mooi weer. Hurricane, Barbados oogt dreigend. De palmen zwiepen in de wind en duistere wolken pakken zich boven de zee samen.

I can be quite morbid at times, but even I thought this piece of art was a tad grim. Standing outside the entrance to Durham Clayport Library, it's hardly welcoming. But it tells an important part of Durham's history, i.e. its association with St. Cuthbert of Lindisfarne. Called 'The Journey', the sculpture refers to the story of St. Cuthbert's coffin, which was carried around by monks for several years until it found a resting place at Durham Cathedral. Will add rest of the story later.

My phone conked out halfway through the trip so I didn't get to take many photos. Durham was much a smaller city than I expected, so I spent the next day in Newcastle and Whitley Bay. I was going to walk along the coast to Cullercoats and Tynemouth, but I did my ankle in and was hobbling about in pain and had to turn back! I managed to see St. Mary's Lighthouse in the distance on the north side of the bay and hope to return to complete the trip to Tynemouth another time. Also, I was told by a woman from Hartlepool that the beaches there are wonderful, so that may be another expedition for the future.

Popped into Newcastle City Library. I don't always like modern libraries, but this one has lots of natural light. Durham's central library is quite small, but I found a book on British Folk Art which I made some notes from, e.g. about Crimean and Indian war quilts made by British soldiers. Visited the Cathedral (built by the Normans in 1092, I was informed by a friendly verger), early morning before I left, the best time to avoid the tourists and I sat in the quad part outside listening to the bells' call for service. Was lucky with the weather, turned out I'd avoided a lot of rain at home. Lots of sunshine.
