She is shown in a field in the process of pulling herself back to her Maine farmhouse. It depicts the artist’s friend Christina Olson, whose body had been ravaged by polio, leaving her unable to walk, and, instead, have to drag herself with her arms. Wyeth gained widespread acclaim when the Museum of Modern Art, New York, purchased what is widely considered his most famous painting Christina’s World, 1948, in 1949. As his technique developed, Wyeth began to increasingly use tempera in addition to watercolor, a technique that has been credited with the severe, bleak, and even nostalgic atmosphere present within much his work. Wyeth showed an early aptitude for painting, and was given his first solo exhibition by the Macbeth Gallery in New York City in 1937 at the age of twenty showing mostly works done in watercolor on paper, the show sold out. The Wyeth family alternated their time between Chadds Ford and the area of Cushing, Maine, and both locales feature prominently throughout the artist’s oeuvre. Both son and pupil to his father, the successful illustrator Newell Convers Wyeth, he began studying art at a young age, as poor childhood health necessitated that he be educated at home. Andrew Wyeth was born on Jin Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. ![]() ![]() The fictional headmaster of Dotheboys Hall, Wackford Squeers, was based on William Shaw ( Ackroyd, 1990, p.

Without unpacking the narrative across semesters of academic study, what can I, the good-natured reading public, do when the labyrinthine allusions, asides, and tips of the hat are so thick as to become disorienting and off-putting?

Whether Towles means to toy with the hero’s journey, Greek mythology, a communist manifesto, good versus evil, life as a stage, Shakespeare, Sinatra, Dumas, or Barnum and Bailey, does it matter that it’s a splendid literary triumph if the torrent of words unseat me whenever I start to engage?įrom another author, The Lincoln Highway and I might have parted ways long before the journey’s end.

With The Lincoln Highway, Amor Towles is 3 for 3 in telling 20th century riches-to-rags stories about characters whose paths from privilege to labor imbue them with substance while retaining their fundamental elegance. ![]() |
