The major paintings of iconic American artist Andrew Wyeth (1917–2009) presented together in an accessible volume. Andrew Wyeth is an essential introduction to the enduring masterworks of this profoundly popular American artist. Published on the occasion of the centennial of the artist’s birth, this handsome book highlights works spanning the entirety of the artist’s seven-decade career painting the landscapes and people he knew in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, where he lived, and in Maine, where he summered. Many of his most important landscapes and portraits were created in and around his Chadds Ford studio, now part of the Brandywine River Museum of Art, with which Andrew Wyeth was intimately connected since its founding in 1971. A short introduction provides an overview of his life, and descriptive captions contextualize some fifty of the artist’s finest and most beloved paintings, including Pennsylvania Landscape (1942), Wind from the Sea (1947), Christina’s World (1948), Trodden Weed (1951), Roasted Chestnuts (1956), Braids (1977), and Pentecost (1989). Readers will also be treated to works previously unseen, such as Betsy’s Beach (2006) and Crow Tree (2007). Review: GOOD PRICE! - GREAT PACKAGING AND THE ITEM IS IN GREAT CONDITION! Review: An Excellent Intro to Andrew Wyeth - This had lots of beautiful color reproductions of Andrew Wyeth's work, and the text provides more insight into what he has done.

Nice little retrospective on Andrew Wyeth
Really nice quality book from the Brandywine River Museum, where you can see a great collection of Wyeth works. The book is fairly small for an art book (about 7x8), but the reproductions are excellent. There is about 30 pages of text with an essay on Wyeth's painting life, which is concise and well written, followed by full page or two page reproductions. In some cases the reproductions that span more than a page would have been better if smaller and on one page, since being spread across the second page makes them harder to see due to the crack of the book binding. The art looks crisp and the colors are great. One complaint is that there are no page numbers on the pages of the art work even though in the essay the page numbers are referred to throughout. The lack of page numbers and how some of the two pages spreads look prevent me giving this 5 stars, but overall it is a nice handy reference to some of Wyeth's greatest works at a reasonable price. This book is related to a major retrospective at the Brandywine through mid-September 2017.

La mejor síntesis sobre la obra de Wyeth.
Es el primer libro que compro de Wyeth. Aun así, no creo que, a un precio tan razonable, haya en el mercado del arte algo tan completo sobre él. No es un libro grande de tapa dura como acostumbran a vendernos los editores de libros de arte, pero es cómodo de mirar, la introducción preliminar no se alarga casi nada y en seguida da paso a las obras del autor, que en casi todos los casos ocupan toda la página, y en los demás, casi toda.

beau petit livre
dommage qu’aucun éditeur ne l’ai traduit en langue française même si les images suffisent à elles seules et sont de belles qualités de reproduction.

Vastly underrated artist. Excellent book.
I love Christina's world and Wyeth's depressing. gloomy art generally. This book is brilliant. I've n=been looking for a good Wyeth book ever since thinking the one on sale in MOMA was too expensive years ago. That was a mistake, now rectified.
