Andrew Wyeth: A Glimpse at the Artist
Thank you saphistische! Yes, amazing talent. I love the simplicity of much of Andrew's subject matter. He has a gift for making one truly feel drawn in and included in his work.
Drawn in and included -- what an interesting way of putting it. I think that my reaction is purely to the subject matter and the quality of technique. It's as though he simplifies some aspects, yet adds texture to others. At 0:45 he has placed the window directly above her torso, and he has added texture and curves to the wall. (None of the other windows are like this.) He pulls the eye away from her, but he has used almost the same tones as her body - it unifies the image.
I absolutely love the picture at 0:45.
The texture and curves of the wall compliment the soft curves of the model. The similar color tones, as well as splashes of illumination beautifully unify the image. Wyeth's ability to capture and covney these qualities are a testament to his amazing talent.
