American Golden Age Illustrator. Father of Andrew Wyeth and Henriette Wyeth. Grandfather of Jamie Wyeth. Newell Convers Wyeth (October 22, 1882 – October 19, 1945), known as N.C. Wyeth, was an American artist and illustrator. He was the star pupil of artist Howard Pyle and became one of America's greatest illustrators.

During his lifetime, Wyeth created over 3,000 paintings and illustrated 112 books,25 of them for Scribner's, which is the work for which he is best-known.
Wyeth was a realist painter just as the camera and photography began to compete with his craft.Sometimes seen as melodramatic, his illustrations were designed to be understood quickly ( Edited by darkdragonlady)
