Book Review of The Art of Andrew Wyeth

The Art of Andrew Wyeth
JaneEire avatar reviewed on


This is the first book to explore in depths the richness and diversity of Andrew Wyeth. Through a revealing interview with the artist and the perceptive comments of three distinguished art commentators, Wyeth's long career is cogently analyzed and put in a historical context. Over one hundred color plates, many of them works never reproduced in color before, survery the full scope and beauty of his art. Through splendid illustrations and fascinating texts, which discuss every facet of the artist's work from his models to his painting techniques, this book makes a significant contribution to the understanding of one of America's favorite artists.
