1. Andrew Wyeth: Autobiography |
|
"Not a prose narrative, but an exhibition of Andrew
Wyeth's work that spans his entire career. With each of the over one hundred
art works that appear, the artist offers a note about its subject, the
circumstances that spurred him to paint or draw it, and the feelings,
values, and experiences he associates with it. They are frank, concrete, and
personal, and Wyeth admirers may find them almost as worthwhile as the
splendid gallery of his work that they accompany." -Booklist Author:
Andrew Wyeth 1998 168 pages ISBN: 0821225693 Book: $29.95 Associated Program: Andrew Wyeth: Self-Portrait - Snow Hill |

3. Rita Blitt: The Passionate Gesture |
|
This is an incredibly beautiful art book that chronicles
Rita Blitt's journey as a developing artist and the events that have shaped
her life. Filled with images of her paintings, drawings and sculptures, this
book confirms art critic Robert McDonald's words, "her works emphatically
illustrate the truth of the aphorism, 'less is more,' concentrating feeling,
energy and memory into statements that allow viewers to understand the
wonders of their own experiences." Author: Rita Blitt 2000 ISBN:
