Andrew Newell Wyeth

Adrew Wyeth (July 12, 1917 - January 16, 2009)
Andrew Wyeth was one of the most popular American painters of the twentieth century. As a representational artist, Wyeth's paintings sharply contrasted with the prevailing trend of abstraction that gained currency in American art in the middle of the twentieth century.

Wyeth's art reflected his deeply-felt response to the rural environment where he was raised as a child and to his upbringing. He used a palette mostly of earth colors and his technique was precise and detailed, yet he lifted his paintings above photographic naturalism with an unreal, visionary quality. Wyeth's work reveals an underlying symbolism and deep understanding of the abstract qualities of light, time, form, and space. You can't go wrong with one of his art prints.

"The challenge to me was to do justice to her extraordinary conquest of a life which most people would consider hopeless... limited physically but by no means spiritually. ~Andrew Wyeth

The Wondrous Strange: The Wyeth Tradition

ILLUSTRATED

Demonic eyes shining out of a shadowy tree. A blind man staggering through a moonlit landscape. Disembodied, dark hands rising out of snow. A feral dog with one blue eye. Ambiguous shadows harboring human shapes. These are but a few of the eerie images in this mesmerizing, wondrous book.

There are four artists represented here: three generations of Wyeth men--N.C., Andrew, and James--and Howard Pyle, artistically speaking the father of them all. An essay on each artist precedes a generous selection of stunning, full-size, color plates of his work; the essay on Andrew is written by his wife, Betsy. It is Betsy who originally conceived of the exhibition that led to the book.

"I get letters from people about my work. The thing that pleases me most is that my work touches their feelings. In fact, they don't talk about the paintings. They end up telling me the story of their life or how their father died." ~Andrew Wyeth

"There's a quote from Hamlet that is my guide... He tells the players not to exaggerate but to hold a mirror up to nature. Don't overdo it, don't underdo it. Do it just on the line." ~Andrew Wyeth
