N. C. Wyeth – Wikipedia
N. C. Wyeth – National Museum of American Illustration
One of the most successful illustrators of all time, Newell Convers Wyeth studied under Howard Pyle between 1902-1904 in Chadds Ford. Perhaps more than any other student, he took Pyle’s dictates completely to heart. He is the preeminent example of the results of Pyle’s teachings, following every precept religiously… Pyle encouraged his students to “jump into their paintings to know the place” they were depicting; in other words, to go and experience the environments. Wyeth took him literally and went out West to live with the Utes and Navajos. For three months he punched cattle, herded, was a mail-carrier, and documented his experiences in meticulous drawings. When he returned, his incredible artwork was sought after and published at an astonishing rate. ~ N. C. Wyeth – National Museum of American Illustration
