SynopsisAndrew Wyeth is considered America's most popular living painter, and his work is acclaimed by art lovers around the world. This fully illustrated volume accompanies the first major exhibition to focus exclusively on Wyeth's exquisite landscape paintings, on view at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, from May 28 to August 30,1998.
