By contrast, in 1952, with the publication of \u003cem\u003eThe Old Man and the Sea,\u003c\/em\u003e his style was described as comparable to Winslow Homer's - realistic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the center of this evolution is the contention that Hemingway's preoccupation with and scientific study of life in the Gulf Stream moved his theory and practice of writing away from the Paris art circle of the 1920s to the new realism of the 1950s. \u003cem\u003eA Sea of Change\u003c\/em\u003e explores the importance of Hemingway's relationship to the waters of the Gulf Stream that transformed his imaginative work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing primarily on Ernest Hemingway's handwritten and unpublished fishing logs and from published and unpublished correspondence and newspaper articles, Mark P.
