Wyeth (1882-1945) was widely renowned for his iconic images of characters such as King Arthur, Robin Hood, and Robinson Crusoe that were reproduced as illustrations for books and magazines. The patriarch of the Wyeth family, father of Andrew Wyeth and grandfather of Jamie, he was also an artist with a broad purview whose work includes impressionist views of the Pennsylvania countryside and 1930s modernist interpretations of Maine coastal scenes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book's essays look at topics such as Wyeth's contributions to the visual mythology of the American West, the darker nuances found in his \u003ci\u003eTreasure Island\u003c\/i\u003e illustrations, and correlations between his illustrations and cinema. Also explored is the way in which Wyeth's own Chadds Ford properties reflect his conception of home and the role of the artist in American society. Complete with a detailed chronology, this carefully researched study of Wyeth's life and work provides a long overdue assessment of the remarkable breadth of this complex yet often misunderstood artist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the Brandywine River Museum of Art and the Portland Museum of Art \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrandywine River Museum of Art, Chadds Ford, PA\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (06\/22\/19-09\/15\/19)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePortland Museum of Art, ME\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (10\/02\/19-01\/12\/20)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTaft Museum of Art, Cincinnati\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (02\/08\/20-05\/03\/20)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJessica May\u003c\/b\u003e is the deputy director and Robert and Elizabeth Nanovic Chief Curator at the Portland Museum of Art, Maine. \u003cb\u003eChristine B.
