(Please let me know if I missed one!) There appears to be some great biographies and books of Wyeth’s artwork, but my library doesn’t have them. I haven’t found any children’s books about Andrew Wyeth to recommend either. I was unable to get permission to use images of some of Wyeth’s paintings from any of the companies that own the copyright. By 20 years old, Andrew Wyeth had his own style and his own fans! Samples of Wyeth’s Art Work He was homeschooled due to health problems and ended up picking up a lot of his art skills from his dad, N.C. There’s something very calming about Wyeth’s paintings.Īndrew Wyeth was part of an extended family with may artists, including his father, siblings and children. My eyes can easily rest on them and I can almost feel the atmosphere of the room. I find myself staring at Wyeth’s paintings much longer than I expected. This is not the shock of an Andy Warhol painting, but a more subtle emotion. He usually used a very limited and sometimes muddy / muted color pallet, achieving incredible emotion. Andrew Wyeth’s paintings carry a contemplative depth to them that is characteristic of his work.
