Andrew Wyeth: Autobiography

Whether you're a casual admirer of Andrew Wyeth's paintings or an ardent fan, this retrospective album of his work from the 1930s to the 90s is both an outstanding introduction to the artist and a highly personal glimpse of his career.

The book presents 133 color reproductions of tempera, drybrush, and watercolor paintings and five black and white pencil sketches, and includes Distant Thunder, Green Room, Barracoon, and several paintings of Helga and of Siri Erickson. For every one of these pieces, Wyeth also offers his commentary describing the model or the scene, his mood or his technique, or all of these.
