Thoreau quotes and southeastern Pennsylvania photographs, Aug 29 2005
By Corinne H. Smith - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In the Footsteps of the Artist: Thoreau and the World of Andrew Wyeth (Hardcover)
Writer-naturalist Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) and artist Andrew Wyeth (1917- ) not only share a birthday: they were born exactly 100 years apart. Thoreau had the town of Concord and the Concord River to inspire him. Andrew Wyeth has Chadds Ford and the Brandywine River. This large coffee table book places quotes from Thoreau against -- not Wyeth artwork -- but photographs of the Brandywine area taken by James A. Warner and Margaret J. White. Some of the sites depicted also appear in Wyeth's work, and eight pieces of his own are actually reproduced here. The photos are lovely and the quotes are nice enough. Thoreau's words are printed in all caps, making them appear to shout from the page. It's kind of an odd combination of text and images: loud sentences and bucolic rural scenery. This book may appeal to Wyeth fans or to natives of southeastern Pennsylvania.
