Description
N.C. Wyeth New Perspectives offers a fresh and surprising overview of the artist's career, exploring his multifaceted oeuvre beyond his iconic illustrations. This study considers the full range of N.C. Wyeth's work, including impressionist views of the Pennsylvania countryside and modernist interpretations of Maine coastal scenes. The book delves into topics such as Wyeth's contributions to the visual mythology of the American West, the nuances found in his Treasure Island illustrations, and correlations between his illustrations and cinema. A detailed chronology is also included, providing a long overdue assessment of this complex yet often misunderstood artist. Published in association with the Brandywine River Museum of Art and the Portland Museum of Art, N.C. Wyeth New Perspectives provides a carefully researched study of Wyeth's life and work, shedding new light on his remarkable breadth as an artist.
