Andrew Wyeth is an iconic yet controversial figure in the American art world, and this book is the first that offers both scholars and lay readers a new perspective and a comprehensive review of his work and career. While striving for a comprehensiveness that is appropriate to the breadth and scope of Wyeth's prolific oeuvre, 'Andrew Wyeth: Memory And Magic' will focus on the artist's ongoing love affair with everyday things-domestic, natural and architectural. Found throughout Wyeth's portraits, landscapes and domestic interiors, these objects form patterns that illuminate core themes and reveal the artist wrestling with issues of memory, temporality, embodiment, and the metaphysical.
