像他的父亲安德鲁-怀斯和祖父 N. C. 怀斯一样,杰米-怀斯在宾夕法尼亚州的布兰迪温河谷、特拉华州和缅因州的中部海岸之间奔波。在这两个地方,怀斯经历了许多 "痴迷",他称自己喜欢的题材为:充满暴力潜能的农具、古怪的肖像和令人不安的人物研究、闹鬼的地方以及附身的动植物。除主要文章外,撰稿人还探讨了如何在电影、舞蹈、声音艺术和古典音乐中创造类似的令人不安的氛围。
A major monograph of the American realist artist, descendant of one of America’s most revered artistic families, and painter of dark and uneasy subjects.
This book traces a persistent vein of intriguing, often disconcerting, imagery over the career of renowned artist Jamie Wyeth (b. 1946), famous for his hyperrealist paintings of farm animals and Maine lighthouses. The focus in this volume is on the chilling thread that runs through his work, present but not overwhelming, and ever-evolving with his style and subjects. Whether he is introducing curious characters or surveying strange landscapes, Wyeth is at home with uneasy subjects and a master of the unsettled mood.Like his father, Andrew Wyeth, and grandfather N. C. Wyeth before him, Jamie Wyeth splits his time between the Brandywine River Valley of Pennsylvania and Delaware and the mid-coast of Maine. In these two locales Wyeth has passed through many “obsessions,” as he calls his favored subjects: farm tools brimming with the potential for violence, eccentric portraits and unnerving figure studies, haunted places, and possessed plants and animals. In addition to the main essay, contributors explore the creation of similarly unsettling moods in film, dance, sound artistry, and classical music.
