Wyeth Vertigo

Painters N. C. Wyeth (1882–1945), Andrew Wyeth (1917–2009), and Jamie Wyeth (born 1946) all employ extreme perspective and imaginative disorientation to create tension within their works. Wyeth Vertigo explores this common theme and reexamines the role of this “first family” of American painting in the context of World War II, the Cold War, and beyond.

Wyeth Vertigo will be of interest to students, scholars, and a general audience focused on American art, the Wyeth family, and mid-twentieth-century visual culture.
