Description

In most cases thought to be “The usa’s Painter,” realist Andrew Wyeth is most likely the most well known of the artistic Wyeth circle of relatives dynasty, which includes his father N.C. Wyeth, sister Henriette Hurd, and son Jamie Wyeth. Despite the fact that most latest explorations of this artist have focused on his circle of relatives 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 a large number of black-and-white images of graphite drawings. Works reproduced are drawn from private and non-private collections, with a large number from the personal collection of the Wyeths. Along with a foreword by Museum Director R. Andrew Maass, the book includes circle of relatives photographs and facsimiles of personal correspondence.
