Biography: One of America's leading artists of the first half of the twentieth century, N.C. Wyeth achieved recognition as both an illustrator and painter. Indeed, during the course of his career, he produced over 3,000 illustrations as well as an abundance of oil paintings, murals, and temperas, all showing his technical mastery as well as his vibrant energy, enthusiasm and love of life. Wyeth also founded a powerful artistic dynasty that includes his son, Andrew and grandson, Jamie and late daughters Carolyn and Henriette. N.C. was born in Needham, Massachusetts in 1882. He received his early formal training in the Boston area, attending the Mechanics Arts High School, the Massachusetts Normal Art School and the Eric Pape School of Art. He also studied privately with the book illustrator, Charles W. Reed, and the painter, Charles H. Davis. However, the greatest impact on his aesthetic development occurred during 1902-1904, when he studied under the illustrator Hower Pyle in Wilmington, Delaware. Pyle, recognized for his vigorous style, sense of romance and emphasis on fine craftsmanship, had a lasting influence on N.C.'s style and subject matter. After publishing his first illustrations in the Saturday Evening Post in January of 1903, Wyeth's work graced the pages of the foremost magazines of the day, among them, Collier's, Harper's, Scribner's, Cosmopolitan, Century, and McClure's, to name only a few. In 1904, the Post and Scribner's sponsored Wyeth's trip to Colorado and New Mexico, where he made sketches of cowboys, horses and cattle that would serve as source material for many of his later illustrations of the old West. Wyeth also specialized in themes relating to American History and medieval subjects.
