Andrew Wyeth is one of the best loved and most widely recognized artists in American history, yet for much of his career he was reviled by the art world's critical elite. This book reevaluates Wyeth and his place in American art, trying to reconcile these two opposing images of the man and his work.
"This timely collection of insightful essays contributes to a growing body of new scholarship on this artist of significance. Scholars and critics are rethinking Wyeth-an artist the collectors and public have always loved. This volume pushes that overdue, meaningful reassessment along at just the right moment." -Patricia McDonnell, Director, Wichita Art Museum
"This collection of critiques seeks to elevate Wyeth’s work and make him 'matter to us in new ways.' ”
