ABOUT THIS BOOK: Generally regarded as "America's Painter," realist Andrew Wyeth is perhaps the most well known of the artistic Wyeth family dynasty, which includes his father N.C. Wyeth, sister Henriette Hurd, and son Jamie Wyeth. Although most recent explorations of this artist have focused on his family and on the Helga pictures, this unique publication chronicles seven decades of an underappreciated yet historically relevant aspect of his relationship to home and community. Andrew Wyeth: Close Friends is the first critical look at a significant body of paintings and works on paper depicting Wyeth's African-American friends and neighbors in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, a quaint village on the Brandywine River, where he has lived since birth. Andrew Wyeth: Close Friends includes over 100 color reproductions of major tempera and watercolor paintings and numerous black-and-white images of graphite drawings. Works reproduced are drawn from public and private collections, with a large number from the personal collection of the Wyeths. In addition to a foreword by Museum Director R. Andrew Maass, the book includes family photographs and facsimiles of personal correspondence.(Publisher).

From the flap: "Andrew Wyeth: Close Friends" is the first critical look at a significant body of paintings and works on paper depicting Wyeth's African-American friends and neighbours in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, a quaint village on the Brandywine River where he has lived since birth. Beginning in the 1930s, many of Wyeth's African-American neighbours served as his models both in and out of the studio. Images of over 20 individuals are included, as well as depictions of their homes, farms, and meeting places. Wyeth's own words annotate the reproductions of his paintings and drawings and offer a rare glimpse into the mind of this truly individual artist. In her brief introduction, the artist's wife and collaborator, Betsy James Wyeth, recounts her arrival in Chadds Ford as a young bride and her immediate connection to the community she found there. "Andrew Wyeth: Close Friends" includes over 100 colour reproductions of major tempera and watercolour paintings and numerous black and white images of graphite drawings. Works reproduced are drawn from public and private collections, with a large number from the personal collection of the Wyeths. In addition to a foreword by museum director R. Andrew Maass, the book includes family photographs and facsimiles of personal correspondence. Betsy James Wyeth came to Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania in 1940 as the new bride of painter Andrew Wyeth. She has collaborated with her husband on several exhibitions and publications. The Wyeth's divide their time between Chadds Ford and Midcoast, Maine.

Overall book is in good condition. As an American realist painter, Andrew Wyeth born 1917, youngest of five children, worked primarily in watercolors and egg tempera. His vivid memory and vigorous imagination caused his pieces to move from strikingly realistic to often surrealistic. Typically, he would both begin and end a painting outdoors. His blatant disregard for his watercolor paintings are apparent based upon viewing the creases and torn edges found on some of them. Museums and galleries over the years held Andrew Wyeths work in the highest regard and still continue to do so today. The Farnsworth museum located in Rockland, Maine once paid $65,000.00 for a painting entitled Her Room in 1964. At the time, this was the highest price paid by a gallery for a living artists work. During 1987, the National Gallery of Art exhibited the Helga paintings. As mentioned before, this was the first time they featured the work of a living artist. Wyeth's brother-in-law, Peter Hurd, introduced the young artist to egg tempera, the medium that would allow Wyeth to achieve the superb textural effects that distinguish his work. It was quick drying and had a fresco-like surface when dry. Those characteristics appealed to Wyeth, who has commented to Richard Meryman in Andrew Wyeth: A Secret Life that, "Oil is hot and fiery, almost like a summer night, where tempera is a cool breeze, dry, crackling like winter branches blowing in the wind. I'm a dry person, really. I'm not a juicy painter. There's no fight in oil. It doesn't have the austere in it." Wyeth used this "austere" medium to create Her Room (1963), the haunting image of a room in his home in Cushing, Maine. The title refers to his wife, Betsy James Wyeth, whom he met in Maine on his twenty-second birthday. She has taken an active role in her husband's career from the very first day they met, introducing him to her long-time friend Christina Olson, who would become the subject of his iconic painting, Christina's World (1948, Museum of Modern Art, New York). Wyeth still paints all day everyday. His ability to create unmistakably realistic images set to a fictional tone both impressed and enraged critics. During his sixty-year career, his work gradually began an evolution from realism to surrealistic expressionism to a combination of both. This "painter of the people," as he is often referred to as, holds no high school diploma, formal training or college degree. Until he was eighteen years of age, Wyeths father Newell (otherwise known as N. C. Wyeth) homeschooled him and trained him in based in part on his frail health. When he was very young, he contracted whooping cough and was prone to illnesses thereafter. A fine and clean copy. This lavish collection was compiled by the artist's wife and includes 370 illustrations, 315 of them never before published. Book.
