Description:
(Painter) N. C. Wyeth was an influential American painter and illustrator renowned for his lifelike style and engaging illustrations. Trained by Howard Pyle, he produced over 3,000 paintings and contributed illustrations to 112 books, notably 25 for Scribner's, including the famous Treasure Island. His artwork was praised for its clarity and impact, although some critics viewed it as overly dramatic. Wyeth firmly believed in maintaining the boundary between painting and illustration, insisting on their separate identities.
