Celebrate the defining moments of a great American painter’s journey to creating his own voice in this stunning portrait of Andrew Wyeth. Andrew Wyeth is one of the greatest American painters of the twentieth century. Before he found his creative voice, he was a boy growing up in an artistic family, spending his time in rural Pennsylvania and Maine. Andy, as he was called by his family, was trained by his father, renowned artist N.C. Wyeth, but they didn’t always see eye to eye. Pa wanted his son to work in bold, bright colors, and to fill his compositions with exciting characters and places. But to Andy, the most exciting stories to paint were the ones he lived every day, that featured the familiar people and places he loved most. Here's a portrait of a masterful American painter whose childhood shaped the painter he would become. It showcases Andrew Wyeth’s unique world. The back matter includes six reproductions of celebrated Wyeth paintings. “A truly fantastic book for those who are young and young at heart. Gene Barretta does an incredible job of tracing my grandfather’s evolution as an artist from a little boy to a ninety-one-year old man. This thoughtful book takes readers inside Andy’s head and allows us to look at the world through his eyes.” – Victoria Browning Wyeth
