Book: More Than a Likeness: The Enduring Art of Mary Whyte
Synopsis: Historian and curator Martha R. Severens provides an intimate look into the artist's private world in this first comprehensive book on the life and work of one of today's most renowned watercolorists from her earliest paintings in rural Ohio and Pennsylvania, to the riveting portraits of her southern neighbors. With more than 200 full-color images of Whyte's paintings and sketches, as well as comparison works by masters such as Winslow Homer, Andrew Wyeth and John Singer Sargent, Severens clearly illustrates how Whyte's art has been shaped and how the artist forged her own place in the world today. Though Whyte's academic training in Philadelphia was in oil painting, she learned the art of watercolor on her own – by studying masterworks in museums. Today Whyte's style of watercolor painting is a unique blend of classical realism and contemporary vision, as seen in her intimate portraits of Southern blue-collar workers and elderly African American women in the South Carolina lowcountry.
