Newell Convers Wyeth, better known as N. C. Wyeth, is one of the most famous American illustrators. The children's book author and illustrator Howard Pyle was his teacher.
Wyeth was born in Massachusetts, the family was considered very traditional, his ancestors fought in the most famous battles. The rich family history and his keen sense of observation helped Wyeth find motifs for his works and convey the authenticity of these flawlessly. At the age of 12 Wyeth was already able to paint outstanding watercolour paintings. Later he learned technical drawing and attended the Massachusetts College of Art School, where his teacher encouraged him to study animated illustration. He did so at the Eric Pape School of Art, where among others the impressionist George Loftus Noyes taught. At the age of 20 he met Howard Pyle, soon Wyeth was able to do paid jobs. His first commissioned work was an illustration of a wild horse for the cover of the Saturday Evening Post. Later, the magazine commissioned him to illustrate a western, and to gain the necessary knowledge he worked as a cowboy and visited the Navajo Indian tribe. This period inspired him to paint cowboys and Native Americans. After his return he worked on farm scenes and scenes from the rural milieu for the publishing house Scribner's. The most famous work is entitled "Mowing" ( 1907). Wyeth then devoted himself to the illustration of classical literature, for example for "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson, through which he achieved great popularity, or "Robinson Crusoe" and "Robin Hood". He also worked very actively for magazines, as well as on advertising material and posters for giants like Coca Cola and Lucky Strike. For his portraits and landscape paintings he initially oriented himself towards Impressionism, later mainly towards American Realism.
Wyeth died together with his grandson in a collision between their car and a freight train. At the time he was working on murals for a life insurance company, the work was completed by his son. After his death he received an honorary doctorate as Master of Arts, during his lifetime he had been a member of various artist groups. In total he made about 3000 paintings and illustrated more than 100 books. He was also able to pass on his artistic talent to his descendants; his son Andrew became a realistic painter and is one of the best known American artists of the mid-20th century; his grandson Jamie also belongs to the circle of realists. His three daughters Ann, Henriette and Carolyn also became artists. Wyeth is described as a caring father, his sociable nature had led to the fact that even the writer F. Scott Fitzgerald had visited him.
