The Artifice of Blue Light: Henriette Wyeth

by Paul Horgan

As one of the great women artists of the twentieth century, Henriette Wyeth (1907-1997) stood today at the head of the only true dynasty in American painting. Her father, the great N. C. Wyeth, taught Henriette her first lessons in form and light alongside her brother Andrew. Her husband, the artist Peter Hurd, contributed his own stock to this ongoing dynasty, opening the West to this illustrious family.Here is the first book devoted to this painter, whose works hang in the permanent collections of New York's Metropolitan Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Smithsonian Institution, and other great collections worldwide.
