Andrew Wyeth: The " Helga " Pictures

3 reviews
John Wilmerding, Andrew Wyeth

Viking, 1987

He must have been in love
I don't mean that Helga was his lover. Still, the artist has an intense experience of his model, and Helga was his model for 15 years. This is an outstanding book in lots of ways. The subject matter is beyond belief, and the reproductions are good. The visual content is organized well: major pieces are chronological, and sketches and studies are gouped with the pieces they support. I find it ...

James H. Duff, Andrew Wyeth, ...

Bullfinch Press - Borders, 2007

Awesome
This is a fascinating book - about all three artists and also a study of artistic ability and creativity running through the family. I bought it years after enjoying the exhibition and have also given it to other art lovers. What the artists have to say about each other is interesting and the reproductions are beautiful. Don't miss this - it will only enhance your appreciation every time you ...

The Red Keep: A Story of Burgundy in 1165 (Adventure Library (Warsaw, N.D.).)

5 reviews
Allen French

Bethlehem Books, 1997

An excellent adventure story for both boys and girls
The Red Keep has strong positive role models for both boys and girls. It has good historical accuracy. Allen French was a Harvard historian who was interested in the roots of modern government. He wrote a series of children's books each focusing on a different time period and a different form of government. The story is exciting, with real villians, intrigue, suspense and last minute ...

Unknown Terrain: The Landscapes of Andrew Wyeth

Beth Venn, Andrew Wyeth, ...

Whitney Museum of Art, 1998

What the text says, or what you see?
When you view the work of an artist, who is to be the arbiter of what, in this case the painting is about, what it means? Do you turn to the Professional Art Critic, Art History Majors, you the viewer, or the man or woman who created the work? In this case the Artist is well and painting, and his thoughts about his work are many and well documented. This book on the paintings of Andrew Wyeth ...

Wyeth at Kuerners

Andrew Wyeth

Houghton Mifflin, 1976

From an illustrators perspective.
Stunning egg tempura illustrations by one of America's finest. Wyeth gives us a peek of his train of thought by including many preliminary sketches. A must have for the master and the apprentice of the arts.

Night Train at Wiscasset Station (A Black star book)

2 reviews
Lew Dietz

Doubleday, 1977

Beautiful picture of Maine's past!
"Night Train at Wiscasset Station" is a masterpiece. Lew Dietz's words, interspersed with Kosti Ruohomaa's photographs, paint a picture of a time gone by in a state that can be beautiful, haunting, desolate and welcoming all at the same time. I grew up in Maine, and this books makes me nostalgic for home. A must-read for anyone who's ever been touched by the state of mind that is Maine.

Andrew Wyeth: Close Friends

2 reviews
Andrew Wyeth, Betsy James Wyeth

Mississippi Museum of Art, 2001

A Great Andrew Wyeth Book
If you have nearly every Andrew Wyeth book and decided to skip this one, think again! I checked this out by looking at one at the public library and counted over 50 paintings and drawings not found in his other books. It is an absolute must buy for Wyeth fans. The thing that struck me most as an artist and photographer was the many way he found of posing his subjects. It is a textbook on ...

Lieutenant Hornblower

49 reviews
C.S. Forester

Little, Brown & Co., 1952

Among the better of the Hornblower books
This is the sixth Hornblower book I've read, although it's only the second in terms of the chronology of Hornblower's naval career. And I must say, it's one of the better books. CS Forester could be a compelling writer, but some of the Hornblower novels feel a little disjointed. Not this one. Lieutenant Hornblower is written from the point of view of Lieutenant Bush, whom Hornblower meets ...

Andrew Wyeth, Autobiography

9 reviews
Andrew Wyeth

Bulfinch Press, 1995

one of the best
My teacher introduced me to Andrew Wyeth's paintings and drawings about a year or two ago. I've been in love with his work ever since. It's just how beautiful his linework is and how he brings life to the paintings. That is so incredibly rare. There are plenty of portrait artists out there, but I can't think of one that impresses me as much as he does. I think this is because of how well he knew ...

Andrew Wyeth

NY: Harry N. Abrams, 1987, 1987

Helga Pictures

Andrew Wyeth: Master Drawings from the Artist's Collection

2 reviews
Henry Adams, Andrew Wyeth

Brandywine River Museum, 2006

Seeing the foundations; the pencil studies of Andrew Wyeth
I have had great admiration for the work of Wyeth for years now, but this book blew me away with its reproductions of Wyeth's pencil drawings. While most are unfinished pencil studies done as preparatory work for his watercolors and temperas, his skill and technique are awe inspiring. He has the ability to realistically render both the texture of an object and the effect of light on that object ...

Wondrous Strange : The Wyeth Tradition

7 reviews
N.C. Wyeth, Andrew Wyeth, ..., 1998

For the non-art initiated, the book is a feast for the imagl
For the non-art initiated, the book is a feast for the imagination as well as the eyes. I bought the book because I come from the mid-coast of Maine, like the Wyeths. But when I took the time to look at the book on a night we lost power due to a snow storm, I found the views conjured stories up in my mind to match the Wondrously Strange images. I've driven by the Wyeth Center a thousand times, ...

Robb White

DoubleDay, 1947

Great kid/teen adventure book!
I love this book, it is a classic adventure story. If you are lucky enough to find this book and read it you truly are blessed. Rob White is one of my most favorite authors. I also love his other books, my most favorite being Smuggler's Sloop and LION'S PAW. Great read - read this book!

The Forest and The Fort

Hervey Allen

Farrar & Rinehart c1943, 1943

Pennsylvania, 1763
This novel is the first volume in a trilogy entitled "The Disinherited." It's set in Pennsylvania mainly right after Bouquet took Pittsburgh (Ft. Duquesne) from the French in 1763, and it reads better as history than fiction. A child who had been captured and raised by the Shawnee is now an aide to Col. Henry Bouquet at Ft. Pitt. Allen writes in a very autoritative, "manly" style that is ...

In the Footsteps of the Artist: Thoreau and the World of Andrew Wyeth

Andrew Wyeth, James A. Warner, ...

BBS Publishing Corporation, 1992

Thoreau quotes and southeastern Pennsylvania photographs
Writer-naturalist Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) and artist Andrew Wyeth (1917- ) not only share a birthday: they were born exactly 100 years apart. Thoreau had the town of Concord and the Concord River to inspire him. Andrew Wyeth has Chadds Ford and the Brandywine River. This large coffee table book places quotes from Thoreau against -- not Wyeth artwork -- but photographs of the ...

Lost Baron: A Story of England in the Year 1200 (Adventure Library (Warsaw, N.D.).)

3 reviews
Allen French

Bethlehem Books, 2001

Escape to a Castle Where Adventure Abounds
This is a delightful mystery/adventure set in a 13th century castle filled with mystery, intrigue, deceit and, of course, secret passages! Set in England under King John (of Robin Hood fame), the story is a quick read with well-developed characters and a healthy dose of intensity. Best for ages 12 and up (or as a read-aloud for younger children).
