Newell Convers Wyeth Art

American, 1882-1945
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 was the pre-eminent example of the results of Pyle’s teachings by following every precept, religiously. During his career, Wyeth painted nearly four-thousand illustrations for the Saturday Evening Post, and many other magazines and books. An early aficionado of Pyle’s he became his greatest advocate even settling his family in the Brandywine area and in Maine, where Wyeth’s still live today. Much of NC Wyeth’s art embraced an American Western theme. He also illustrated popular kid's books topped off with pirates, knights, and brigands in novels entitled Treasure Island and Tom Sawyer - which established visual images of the characters in young readers minds eye, for generations. Born in Needham, Massachusetts, nearby Boston in 1882, Newell Convers Wyeth showed an early passion for drawing and was encouraged by his family. From 1903, until his tragic death in a 1945 car accident at a railroad crossing, N.C. Wyeth set new standards for illustrators, in styles, in technique, and through his imagination. He had an extraordinary ability to create living characters from an author’s imaginary story. Because of his fantastical imagination, he envisaged all aspects of a story, identifying crucial elements often overlooked by the author himself. Cooper, DeFoe, Irving, Stevenson, and Verne were some of the authors whose works he illustrated.

"Monhegan Island, Maine, " Edward Dufner, American Impressionism Landscape View

By Edward Dufner

Located in New York, NY

Edward Dufner (1872 - 1957) Monhegan Island, Maine Watercolor on paper Sight 16 x 20 inches Signed lower right With a long-time career as an art teacher and painter of both 'light' and 'dark', Edward Dufner was one of the first students of the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy to earn an Albright Scholarship to study painting in New York. In Buffalo, he had exchanged odd job work for drawing lessons from architect Charles Sumner. He also earned money as an illustrator of a German-language newspaper, and in 1890 took lessons from George Bridgman at the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy. In 1893, using his scholarship, Dufner moved to Manhattan and enrolled at the Art Students League where he studied with Henry Siddons Mowbray, figure painter and muralist. He also did illustration work for Life, Harper's and Scribner's magazines. Five years later, in 1898, Dufner went to Paris where he studied at the Academy Julian with Jean-Paul Laurens and privately with James McNeill Whistler. Verification of this relationship, which has been debated by art scholars, comes from researcher Nancy Turk who located at the Smithsonian Institution two 1927 interviews given by Dufner. Turk wrote that Dufner "talks in detail about Whistler, about how he prepared his canvasas and about numerous pieces he painted. . . A great read, the interview puts to bed" the ongoing confusion about whether or not he studied with Whistler. During his time in France, Dufner summered in the south at Le Pouleu with artists Richard Emil Miller...

His early work emphasized western subjects that are extremely valuable, as are his historic illustrations for Treasure Island and The Deerslayer, among other classics. His works hang in many museums.
