Newell Convers (N C) Wyeth (1882-1945) is an American artist associated with the Golden Age of
Illustration.
The Newell Convers Wyeth Collection at Spirit of the Ages
includes art images from some
of Wyeth's seminal work. As a valuable reference resource, options are also provided
for
purchasing a range of gifts, including reproduction prints, posters and greeting cards.
Throughout his artistic career - that included both
painting and illustrating - Wyeth created more than 3,000 paintings and
contributed illustrations to over 100 books.
Wyeth showed advanced artistic skills from an early age
and his artistic pursuits were encouraged by his mother and after some
intermediate training at the Massachusetts Normal Arts School and the Eric Pape
School of Art, he became a stellar student in Howard Pyle's School of Art.
During the early years of his work as an illustrator,
Wyeth restricted himself to themes of classic Americana - particularly those
related to Western subjects. Beginning in 1911, however, Wyeth shifted his focus
to that of classic literature.
