Reviews
Contains many color photos of the art of all three artists (just what I like in a book about painters; a little bit about the artist and lots of good quality color photos of the art; the art is the thing, for me.) Particularly good is the essay by Andrew on his father's art and life. The only flaw in the book is the essay (of sorts) by Lincoln Kirstein on James Wyeth. Abstract writing by a writer who is in love with his own writing, stringing words together, and conveying nothing. His part is the only reason that the book did not get 5 stars. As a big fan of N.C. Wyeth's Western art I was glad to see several of his Western paintings included. When put back to back, truly an amazing legacy of talent. Andrew was 70 when the book was written and now little Jamie of the Coon Skin Cap will be 70 in two days (July 6, 2016). Time flies.
