Story Archives of 'Andrew Wyeth'

Renowned writer and editor Richard Meryman will talk about the paintings of Andrew Wyeth, his life and the manner in which he managed to apply emotion to a flat surface, accompanied by slides of Wyeth?s work. Meryman worked for 23 years as a reporter, editor and staff writer for Life magazine. He is the author of Andrew Wyeth: A Seceret Life, described by Geoffrey C. Ward as ?a revelation. No one will ever view [Wyeth?s] apparently tranquil works the same way again after reading this vivid and astonishing portrait of the turbulent, driven man who paints them.? Meryman has known Andrew Wyeth since 1964 and is himself the son of the Dublin artist, Richard C. Meryman, for whom he was named.
