Description
Andrew Wyeth: Life and Death presents a unique perspective on the artist's late career and contemporary American art. Recently rediscovered drawings from the early 1990s, which Wyeth imagined his own funeral, are explored in depth. Chapters by leading art historians examine the significance of picturing one's own death in both context. These drawings connect to Wyeth's decades-long engagement with death as an artistic subject in painting, his relationships with models depicted, and his use of drawing as an expressive medium. The book also places Wyeth's work within a larger conversation about mortality and self-portraiture that developed in American art since the 1960s. Featuring works by notable artists such as Duane Michals, Andy Warhol, David Wojnarowicz, George Tooker, Janaina Tschäpe and Mario Moore, Andrew Wyeth: Life and Death addresses urgent ideas about loss, grief, vulnerability and (im)mortality that are relevant today.
