N.C. Wyeth was encouraged to draw when he was a child. When he was about 20
years old he began working for a magazine, the Saturday Evening Post. They
sent him to study southwest culture and for three months he lived among the
Indians and herded sheep. He sketched and painted pictures to show what life
was like among the Indians. He married and he and his wife raised five
children. Their son Andrew became one of America's foremost artists. Andrew,
who was ill when he was a child, was homeschooled and his father taught him
how to be an artist. Two more of their children, Henrietta and Carolyn, and
also their grandson, Jamie, (Andrew's son) became artists. Jamie, when he was
21, painted a portrait of John F. Kennedy. Jamie had also been homeschooled
and trained by his father. N.C. studied with Howard Pyle, a man who gave free
art lessons to students that he thought had a lot of artistic ability. Wyeth
became a book illustrator. The first book he illustrated was Robert Lewis
Stevenson's Treasure Island. During his lifetime he drew and painted about
3,000 pictures and illustrated 112 books. In the 1930's he began painting a
set of large murals for a life insurance company, but he and one of his
grandsons were both killed in a car accident in 1945. His son Andrew and his
son-in-law finished the work.
