An American Vision: Three Generations of Wyeth Art-NC Wyeth, Andrew Wyeth, James Wyeth
Features the first major international exhibition to examine the art of N.C., Andrew, and James Wyeth, and the first to focus on the enduring traditions that have shaped one of America's foremost artistic families. The Wyeth's deserve their fame for many reasons, not the least of which is the unusual circumstance of artists of three successive generations each achieving broad and well-deserved recognition in his own right; seldom does such artistic talent occur within a single family. We now have the rare opportunity to study their techniques and the themes of their paintings and to examine continuities and changes among the art of father, son, and grandson over nearly a century.The artwork of NC Wyeth, Andrew Wyeth, and James Wyeth. Beautifully illustrated in full color photographs. 209pp. Oversize/heavy glossy pictorial softcovrer. Clean and unmarked pages throughout, tight binding, crisp and bright. Like NEW. ExtraFINE.
