A comprehensive coverage - By: Benjamin, 18 Jan 2008
Published to accompany the exhibition "Unknown Territory: The Landscape of Andrew Wyeth" organised by the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1998, following the introduction two essays discusses the critical appraisal of the artist, his approach to his work & his painting methods; the easy are illustrated throughout in colour & black & white. The catalogue of work runs from pages 51 to 199. The book concludes with a further essay which includes a number of comments by the artist. There is also a list of works included in the exhibition but no bibliography.

In total there are approaching 200 illustrations, with the vast majority being in full colour, although the restrained nature of Wyeth's palette does not make this immediately apparent even in the main section of plates. The landscape format of the book accommodates well the predominantly similarly proportioned paintings & drawings, however sometimes the image is reproduced rather smalll relative to the page size.

A very useful publication which well demonstrates the range of the artist's output even with the designation of landscape.
