Winslow Homer Crosscurrents specimen from Morcos Key

A catalog designed by Morcos Key for The Met's 'Winslow Homer: Crosscurrents' exhibition, its visual language drawn from the waves of the Atlantic Ocean and centred on Homer's 'The Gulf Stream'.

About

The design accompanies an exhibition spanning Homer's monumental seascapes, Civil War imagery and scenes of rescue and hunting. The book jacket foregrounds 'The Gulf Stream', and the layout unfolds in a rhythm that echoes the Atlantic swell. Morcos Key treated the ocean's motion as the structural and visual spine of the publication.
