Lot 51
The paintings title refers to nautical time in which each half-hour of a four-hour watch is marked by a bell. Eight bells, therefore, could be either eight oclock, twelve oclock, or four oclock. Eight bells can also be a way of saying that a sailors watch is over, for instance, in his or her obituary, as a nautical euphemism for finished. This painting shares a title with one of Winslow Homers most famous paintings, now in the Addison Gallery of American art in Massachusetts. N.C. Wyeth named his home in Maine Eight Bells after Homers painting.
