Wyeth's career that considers the full range of the multifaceted artist's oeuvre\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e N. C. Wyeth (1882-1945) was widely renowned for his iconic images of characters such as King Arthur, Robin Hood, and Robinson Crusoe that were reproduced as illustrations for books and magazines. The patriarch of the Wyeth family, father of Andrew Wyeth and grandfather of Jamie, he was also an artist with a broad purview whose work includes impressionist views of the Pennsylvania countryside and 1930s modernist interpretations of Maine coastal scenes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book's essays look at topics such as Wyeth's contributions to the visual mythology of the American West, the darker nuances found in his \u003ci\u003eTreasure Island\u003c\/i\u003e illustrations, and correlations between his illustrations and cinema. Also explored is the way in which Wyeth's own Chadds Ford properties reflect his conception of home and the role of the artist in American society. Complete with a detailed chronology, this carefully researched study of Wyeth's life and work provides a long overdue assessment of the remarkable breadth of this complex yet often misunderstood artist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the Brandywine River Museum of Art and the Portland Museum of Art \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrandywine River Museum of Art, Chadds Ford, PA\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (06\/22\/19-09\/15\/19)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePortland Museum of Art, ME\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (10\/02\/19-01\/12\/20)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTaft Museum of Art, Cincinnati\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (02\/08\/20-05\/03\/20)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica May, Christine Podmaniczky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300243685\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300243680\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 9.80w x 0.80d","brand":"Jessica May","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047739224319,"sku":"9780300243680","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5b81ace3-d751-4c9c-b129-902aa6d47c2a.jpg?v=1684991914","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/n-c-wyeth-jessica-may-9780300243680","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
