Generally regarded as "America's Painter," realist Andrew Wyeth is perhaps the most well know of the artistic Wyeth family dynasty which includes his father N. C. Wyeth, sister Henriette Hurd, and son Jamie Wyeth. Although most recent explorations of this artist have focused on his family and on the Helga pictures, this unique publication chronicles seven decades of an under-appreciated yet historically relevant aspect of his relationship to home and community. "Andrew Wyeth: Close Friends" is the first critical look at a significant body of paintings and works on paper depicting Wyeth's African-American friends and neighbours in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, a quaint village on the Brandywine River where he has lived since birth. Beginning in the 1930s, many of Wyeth's African-American neighbours served as his models both in and out of the studio. Images of over 20 individuals are included, as well as depictions of their homes, farms, and meeting places. Wyeth's own words annotate the reproductions of his paintings and drawings and offer a rare glimpse into the mind of this truly individual artist. In her brief introduction, the artist's wife and collaborator, Betsy James Wyeth, recounts her arrival in Chadds Ford as a young bride and her immediate connection to the community she found there. "Andrew Wyeth: Close Friends" includes over 100 colour reproductions of major tempera and watercolour paintings and numerous black and white images of graphite drawings. Works reproduced are drawn from public and private collections, with a large number from the personal collection of the Wyeths. In addition to a foreword by museum director R. Andrew Maass, the book includes family photographs and facsimiles of personal correspondence. Betsy James Wyeth came to Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania in 1940 as the new bride of painter Andrew Wyeth. She has collaborated with her husband on several exhibitions and publications. The Wyeth's divide their time between Chadds Ford and Midcoast, Maine.

Autobiography of Andrew Dickson White Vol. I presents a reflective narrative of personal growth, education, and the pursuit of intellectual purpose. Through detailed recollections of early life in Central New York, the author explores how family, community, and education shaped a lifelong devotion to learning and public service. The work portrays a childhood filled with moral instruction, curiosity, and an awareness of the broader cultural and political currents of the time. White's reflections on his academic journey from local schools to Yale and later Europe reveal the evolution of an individual determined to challenge traditional barriers to knowledge. His accounts of family expectations, early reading, and exposure to differing worldviews highlight the tension between conformity and ambition. The narrative weaves together memory and reflection to illustrate how environment and education foster intellectual independence. It stands as a meditation on personal development, civic responsibility, and the enduring value of scholarship in shaping one's character and contributions to society.
Autobiography of Andrew Dickson White Vol. II offers an insightful account of a diplomat's reflections on political life, international relations, and the moral complexities of public service. The work presents a vivid portrayal of the author's tenure as United States Minister to Russia, capturing his encounters with statesmen, rulers, and intellectuals during a period of social and political transformation. Through his detailed observations, he examines the dynamics of governance, the challenges of diplomacy, and the tension between personal conviction and political responsibility. The narrative provides glimpses into his meetings with Russian leaders and his thoughts on the nation's administrative structure, religious tensions, and treatment of minority communities. Beyond political commentary, the autobiography conveys the author's intellectual curiosity and commitment to dialogue and progress. His reflections reveal both the burdens and the rewards of serving one's country with integrity. Blending historical insight with personal experience, the volume becomes a meditation on leadership, duty, and the search for understanding across cultural and political boundaries.
