Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Andrew Wyeth is perhaps the most popular American artist of the twentieth century. He has been the subject of numerous major exhibitions, including ones at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco. Many books have been published on his art.

Thomas Hoving, the former director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the former editor-in-chief of Connoisseur, is a cultural affairs consultant and the author of many books, including Making the Mummies Dance, his recent bestselling memoirs. A new book about art fakes will be published shortly.

I love Wyeth and this is one of the two books I could find in the market that include his most paintings. I bought used version. I can't believe I could buy this book for such an affordable price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable read
Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2006

I didn't know a lot about Andrew Wyeths work before reading this book. I had seen the paintings and I liked them a lot, but I didn't know that much about them.

The book is labeled as an autobiography, but its form is not what many might expect. This is not a book consisting of prose with the occasional picture, it is a book that mainly shows Wyeths paintings with a paragraph or two about the paintings below. Written by Wyeth. For some this may not be what they are looking for, but I liked this very much.

It is a very good introduction to Wyeth's paintings and the subject matter he painted. The people, the places and their history. There isn't a lot of information about Wyeth himself in the book. At least not in the sense one would expect from a traditional biopgraphy. But after reading it I feel I know a lot more about both Wyeth and his paintings than a typical art-history or biographical text would give me.

I'd be happy to recommend this book.

I am not sure why this is called an autobiography. What it does offer is a brief commentary by the artist for each painting. But the book is large enough for good-size reproductions and they seem to be of good quality. There are all in color and there are enough paintings included to have a sufficient overview of his best work. It is great to have a fine sampling of Wyeth without the bulk of a heavy, coffee-table sized volume.

The plates are beautiful. The artwork is brilliant. I love reading Wyeth’s comments laid out next to each painting. The commentaries are usually short but provide the artist’s thoughts about his art & stories behind each piece. Great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Must-have Book for any Art Library
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2011

Oh this is a fabulous book. My first copy was bought on a whim. Someone 'borrowed' it and it was missing from my stash of art inspiration books. I found myself constantly wishing I had this book (unlike others in my collection that I sometimes rediscover and then forget about again)! So, I reordered this. I am so happy to have it back! (Good speedy service from Amazon too). What a treat to get into the mind of such a talented artist. It's like having a chat w/a genius each time you open it. He describes what inspired him and any thoughts about the painting. The picture quality is superb. This is an amazing book to see the breadth and scope of a master's body of work.

The media could not be loaded.
 Arrived early, well packaged and in very good condition for used book. Just small bend in corner of cover and bit of yellowing around edges of book which is expected for second hand. Very clean inside and no damage to pages and no writing on them, binding intact and no smell, so was very pleased with condition.
For those looking for specifics on the book and paintings I have included photos of index - if you can see the small print in photos, good to mention that Christina’s World and Master Bedroom are not in this book if you are looking for those since they are popular titles. Lots of great paintings Landscapes, portraits, mostly Tempra as you can image, but also a few water colour, pencil, and an oil which was exciting to see! Posted a quick video so you can see they are a nice sized images. Been looking for an Andrew Wyeth book for quite some time and glad I found a reasonably priced one. As for reproduction quality I can’t compare to another book, some darker paintings likely loose some definition in the darker areas but images are clear. Very happy with purchase!
