A Painter's View: The Andrew Wyeth Studio Scribner's Magazine: The Early Years in Illustration
The exhibition brings together paintings and drawings from private collections that depict the interior and exterior of this building, as well as some of the models who posed there. Of the approximately 20 paintings on display, half have never before been on view to the public. The gallery will also include many of the the artist’s major works painted in the studio over his 70-year career. Scribner's Magazine: The Early Years in Illustration The exhibition will introduce visitors to the importance of the illustrated magazine in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and emphasize the primacy of Scribner’s Magazine during the “golden age of illustration.” Scribner’s art editors hired the best artists and illustrators, and the exhibition will feature the works of many of these artists, among them Robert Blum, Charles Dana Gibson, Thornton Oakely, Rose O’Neill, Maxfield Parrish, Howard Pyle, Frank Schoonover, John H. Twachtman and N. C. Wyeth. Scribner’s also kept pace with technological developments in printing, and the exhibition will show the effects of radical changes in printing techniques that occurred between 1887 and 1912. The earliest illustrations in the magazine were reproduced as wood engravings. By January 1912, the magazine routinely printed four color reproductions. |
