Chapters by leading art historians explore the significance of picturing one's own death in both the context of Wyeth's late career and contemporary American art. The book connects the funeral series to Wyeth's decades-long engagement with death as an artistic subject in painting, his relationships with the models depicted, and his use of drawing as an expressive and exploratory medium. It further inserts Wyeth's work into a larger conversation about mortality and self-portraiture that developed in American art since the 1960s, and includes works by Duane Michals, Andy Warhol, David Wojnarowicz, George Tooker, Janaina TschaÂpe and Mario Moore. While his contemporaries posed a variety of existential questions in picturing their own passing, those that interrogate the universality of death as a human experience have become especially urgent in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and the national reckoning with racial inequality that emerged in 2020. Andrew Wyeth: Life and Death thus addresses ideas about loss, grief, vulnerability and (im)mortality that pervade the current moment."-- $c Publisher's description. 600 10 $a Wyeth, Andrew, $d 1917-2009 $v Exhibitions. 600 17 $a Wyeth, Andrew, $d 1917-2009. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01734200 650 0 $a Drawing, American $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Painting, American $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Art, American $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. 650 6 $a Peinture americaine $y 20e siecle $v Expositions. 650 6 $a Art americain $y 20e siecle $v Expositions. 650 7 $a Art, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815895 650 7 $a Painting, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01050648 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01424028 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 lcgft 700 12 $a Wyeth, Andrew, $d 1917-2009. $t Works. $k Selections. 700 1 $a Sheehan, Tanya, $d 1976- $e curator. 700 1 $a Baumgartner, Karen, $e contributor. 700 1 $a DeLue, Rachael Ziady, $e contributor. 700 1 $a Nemerov, Alexander, $e contributor. 710 2 $a Colby College. $b Museum of Art, $e publisher. $e host institution, $e publisher. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024711.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=43875E1C4EAA11EDAB62559A42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
