<div><font face=Lato size=3 color=black><em>Houghton Farms (Girls Strolling in an Orchard)</em> belongs to a pivotal moment in Winslow Homers career, created during the late 1870s as he transitioned from the wartime subjects that first brought him acclaim to the watercolor medium and domestic pastoral themes that would secure his place in the American canon. This period marked Homers sustained engagement with Houghton Farm in Mountainville in the Hudson Valley, where he spent extended time with his childhood friend and patron Lawson Valentine. Over these visits Homer produced approximately fifty watercolors, forming one of the most important bodies of early work in the medium.

تنتمي لوحة "مزارع هوغتون (فتيات يتنزهن في بستان)" إلى مرحلة محورية في مسيرة وينسلو هومرز الفنية، حيث تم إنتاجها في أواخر سبعينيات القرن التاسع عشر، في الفترة التي انتقل فيها من موضوعات الحرب التي جلبت له الشهرة في البداية إلى الألوان المائية والموضوعات الريفية المحلية التي ضمنت له مكانة مرموقة في الفن الأمريكي. شهدت هذه الفترة انخراط هومر المستمر في مزرعة هوغتون في ماونتنفيل في وادي هدسون، حيث أمضى وقتًا طويلاً مع صديق طفولته وراعيه لوسون فالنتاين. خلال هذه الزيارات، أنتج هومر حوالي خمسين لوحة مائية، شكلت واحدة من أهم الأعمال المبكرة في هذا الفن. تم الاحتفاء بأهمية هذه الإنتاجات لاحقًا في معرض عام 2009 في صالات عرض سيراكيوز للفنون، وينسلو هومرز إمباير ستيت: مزرعة هوغتون وما بعدها.


 


هذه اللوحة المائية مدرجة في كتالوج الأعمال الفنية للفنان وترتبط ارتباطًا وثيقًا بأعمال أخرى مبكرة من مزرعة هوغتون، بما في ذلك لوحة الهواء النقي من عام 1878 الموجودة في مجموعة متحف بروكلين. تعكس مشهد البستان الهادئ، المرسوم بألوان ناعمة وخافتة، موضوعات الحنين والهدوء والسلام التي تميز فترة إعادة الإحياء لدى هومر. تسمح شفافية الألوان المائية لهومر بخلق انطباع دقيق وجذاب لصباح ضبابي، تنعشه لمسات من الألوان الزاهية في أنماط ملابس الشخصيات، والفيونكة على القبعة، والغطاء على الرأس، والطائر الأزرق الجاثم على غصن الشجرة.


 


تؤكد المعرض الحالي في متحف الفنون الجميلة في بوسطن، "الضوء والهواء: وينسلو هومر في الألوان المائية"، على الأهمية المستمرة لممارسة هومر للألوان المائية، مما يؤكد على الصدى الدائم لأعماله من هذه الفترة التحولية. تعتبر لوحة "مزارع هوغتون (فتيات يتنزهن في بستان)" مثالاً جميلاً محفوظاً من اللحظة التي تبنى فيها هومر الألوان المائية كوسيلة تعبير أساسية له، مسلطاً الضوء على الشاعرية الهادئة التي أصبحت سمة مميزة لفنه الناضج.
