N. C. Wyeth
(1882-1945) |
| Newell Convers
Wyeth was Howard Pyle’s
most successful student, going on to be one of America’s most famous
illustrators and the patriarch of one of the most important families
in American art history. Doing large paintings, Wyeth is best known
for his dramatic book illustrations, including those from such
famous Scribner’s Classics as Treasure Island, The
Black Arrow, Robin Hood, and Rip Van Winkle. Wyeth
was in such demand that he was also called upon to do advertising
work, magazine story illustrations, and even murals during his long,
distinguished career. |
