Wyeth always felt unhappy about his illustration work. An illustration must be made practical, not only in its dramatic statement, but it must be a thing that will adapt itself to the engravers and printers limitations. This fact alone kills that underlying inspiration to create thought. Instead of expressing that inner feeling, you express the outward thought... or imitation of that feeling. You can see why he felt that way in this cover for The Popular Magazine , June 1912. Click photo for details/to buy.
