Produktbeschreibungen
From Kirkus Reviews
In the ``First Impressions'' series, a detailed, perceptive portrait of a contemporary painter who has received both critical admiration and popular acclaim, by a long-time friend who first wrote about Wyeth in the 60's. Meryman's primary focus is Wyeth's boyhood--a choice that, in this case, is appropriate: his lively youth and relationship with his colorful but overwhelming father, N. C. Wyeth, is not only of particular interest to young people but crucial to Andrew's development. N.C., who had hoped for recognition as a painter, was best known as a fine illustrator; he was also a respected teacher. Andrew was lucky to be the last of his five gifted children, thriving in the vibrant family milieu but also benefiting from some benign neglect. His own work is seen here as a rich, creative blend of N.C.'s rigorous instruction and fertile example, and of an artist's compelling need to find his own way. Countering the popular conception of Andrew as a throwback or traditionalist, Meryman points out both the emotional complexity of his subjects and their treatment and the intellectual nature of compositions that, like abstract art, are determined more by form and color than by content. The paintings reproduced are well chosen to represent Wyeth's development and range. A fascinating, entertaining, and beautiful book. Excellent color reproductions with full citations; b&w photos; index. (Biography. 11+) -- Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

The BIG Andrew Wyeth book
7. Juli 2006
Yes, this is the BIG Andrew Wyeth book. Very good reproductions. You can tell how big this book really is by the less than half of the front cover I was able to get in the scan. All Wyeth lovers have to get this one, as it is the best of the lot simply by the size of the reproductions. Of course, Andrew Wyeth is so good that any print presents only the shadow of his genius. His originals are breathtaking -- to my mind Andy is the best American painter of the 20th. Century. Andrew Wyeth was born July 12, 1917, exactly 100 years after Henry David Thoreau. He will be 89 this summer. 2006.
