This book was produced as part of a series of "masterworks" at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Hartford Connecticut in 2012. It's a beautiful book with a number of paintings, some of which I had seen before, but others that were borrowed from private collections and other museums for the exhibit. There is a large exhibit of Wyeth at the Brandywine Museum in Chadds Ford, PA. I've been there many times. It's really wonderful to walk through the floor that holds so many Wyeths in one place. Wyeth used a lot of windows and doors as "symbols of transition and yearning" as the book says. I've always enjoyed looking at art, but since I became interested in photography, I look at paintings and sculptures in a very different way. I notice composition and light and movement and, of course, people as they are expressed by different artists. It's interesting. This really is a beautiful book printed on quality paper. It's definitely worth reading for any art fan who appreciates Andrew Wyeth.
