Amazing ( ) This beautifully illustrated book, published for a 1998 exhibition by the same name, focuses on the evocative, sometimes mysterious and occasionally spooky works of four Pennsylvania artists: Howard Pyle, NC Wyeth, Andrew Wyeth and Jamie Wyeth. These artists form a continuum in the Brandywine Valley, beginning with the teacher, noted illustrator Pyle, and continuing with his student, illustrator NC Wyeth, Wyeth's son Andrew, and Andrew's son Jamie. While spotlighting each artist's more fanciful pieces, it also provides visual testimony to the transcendent quality of the work of Andrew Wyeth, which many critics erroneously judge to be simple landscapes of a bygone era, when they are in fact far more than simply representational. The book includes beautiful full-color illustrations of many works not generally seen, especially among those by Jamie Wyeth, and includes an introduction that outlines the Brandywine River tradition and the way each artist relates to it and to each other. Other essays by various authors (including Betsy James Wyeth) focus on each artist. Although it emphasizes images over text, it is an outstanding book for those who admire these artists' work, or those who would like to learn more about them. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
The art presented in this volume is from three generations of the Wyeth family, as well as turn-of-the-century illustrator, Howard Pyle. The paintings have elements of the Gothic and touch upon the fantastic and the macabre, and each of the 120 selected is an illustration of a classic tale. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
