Watercolor Sketches and Drawings
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
From Front Jacket: "In the finished tempera paintings of so thoughtful an artist as Andrew Wyeth, there is bound to be some loss of the immediacy which is such an outstanding characteristic of his dashing watercolors. A painter cannot always invent directly on his canvas or panel. Quick sketches and working drawings are often a necessary preliminary. The pity is that students and the public so rarely see them. Because of their intimate nature and unfinished state, the artist almost invariably hides them away, or - even more regrettably - destroys them. For a number of reasons, therefore, the writer of this note was particularly pleased when Mr. Wyeth expressed his willingness to allow a considerable showing of his watercolor sketches, as well as a number of pencil drawings, because, with a few exceptions, they have never been exhibited before. By far the largest proportion of them are in Mrs. Wyeth's personal collection." - Philip Hofer, Curator of Printing and Graphic Arts, Harvard College Library
