Описание: A revelation. No one will ever view Andrew Wyeth's apparently tranquil works the same way again after reading this vivid and astonishing portrait of the turbulent, driven man who paints them. Richard Meryman has written a wonderful book. - Geoffrey C. Ward
At its most fundamental level, this stunning and unique biography describes a distinguished painter's enterprise of transmitting emotion onto a flat surface. It explores all the factors that have combined to create Andrew Wyeth -- his childhood in a hothouse of creativity; his hypersensitivity; his formidable wife; his identification with people marginalized and misunderstood -- all which have made him an American icon. In the process, his realist works in watercolor and tempera, including the famous Christina's World, have gained him a special and secure niche in the history of American art.
The book is a portrait of obsession -- how single-mindedness has affected Wyeth's relationships and transformed his world into a realm of secrecy and fervid imagination. Those who read this book will never look at Wyeth's work as they did before. It reveals the artist's dark depths, as well as the ruthless, angry, child/man fantasist who paints the basic brutalities of existence -- death and madness --that vibrate eerily beneath his pictures' calm surfaces.
Richard Meryman's narrative is almost novelistic, with its larger-than-life characters and subplots: the tragedy of C.C. Wyeth; Betsy Wyeth's campaign for independence and individuality; the byzantine 15-year-long drama of the Helga paintings; the eccentric and creative Wyeth clan; and the idiosyncratic land and people of Maine and Pennsylvania.
Based on 30 years of research, frequent visits and countless conversations with the artist, his family, friends, admirers and critics, Andrew Wyeth: A Secret Life is the only book about the man and the artist that gets behind his carefully guarded screen, tells the full story of his life and reveals his complex personality and the motivations for his paintings.
Описание: An extraordinary private collection of watercolors and drawings by Andrew Wyeth depicting the subjects memorialized in his legendary painting Christina's World, one of the best-known works of American art. This book presents rarely seen watercolors and drawings Andrew Wyeth made of his friend Christina Olson, her brother Alvaro, and the weathered Maine farmstead where they lived. It features moving portraits and serene interior and exterior views of the house and the surrounding land, now memorialized in Wyeth's 1948 tempera painting Christina's World, one of the most famous paintings in the history of American art and now in the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Some forty-five works from the collection of the Marunuma Art Park in Japan, rarely shown before in the United States, are accompanied by works from the Farnsworth as well as by historical photographs of Wyeth, the Olsons, and the house. Otoyo Nakamura writes about the history of this collection of Wyeth works, and Michael Komanecky addresses the place of the Olson farm in Wyeth's career over three decades, and how Christina's World and the Olson House have inspired pilgrimages for fans of Wyeth's work. Despite its isolated location and seasonal schedule, Olson House draws thousands of visitors each year from around the world. The Olson House, acquired by the Farnsworth Art Museum in 1991, has been recommended for National Landmark status.

Описание: Much more than a biography of a great American illustrator--a portrait of a tragic family through four generations of artists.
Описание: What a terrible idea the Christian tradition is It goes back a long way even before we were born. Someone thought of an idea, and over the years, it became something everybody needed. It replaced what the Lord had given us in the Bible. The point is, study the Bible and throw out everything man-made. The Bible is given to us as God's manual for living. If we forget to do something or fail to do what God commands, he will not bless us. But the trouble is, they have forgotten the words of Jesus who said, "May they be brought to complete unity." Complete unity? Studying the Bible means just that-complete unity to let the world know that God sent me. Study the Bible if you want to grow up and do the Lord's work. If you fail to do that, you are wasting your time. My work in theology and principles of behaviour is only as good as the scriptures I present. Why don't you extend my book and add more truths as you go along? This is what God wants you to do: read and study the Bible.

Описание: I am too old to work with children, but I hope that what I have done will encourage you to go out and try doing open-air work. It is much better than knocking on doors. If you had a team helping you, it is better than doing it alone. My work is to try to get you to understand what the difference is between adults and children. So I have presented to you what things you should be doing with the stories from Genesis to the Revelation, the whole Bible, and prepared it with pictures on a sketch board. Don't worry If you do that, all the adults and children will focus on the sketch board and you with a paint brush can carry on. If you get stuck, the words and the pictures will guide and help you.
