TWO LETTERS FROM ANDREW WYETH
TWO LETTERS FROM ANDREW WYETH (AMERICAN, 1917-2009) TO ALICE MOORETwo Letters from ANDREW WYETH (American, 1917-2009) to Alice Moore, Mailed Monday, September 12, 1938 Dearest: Please forgive me for not writing, although I don't blame you if you don't. I do hope Peggy has come through every thing well. Please give her my best. Your not being here over Labor Day was of course a real disappointment but it couldn't be helped. One reason I'm sorry you couldn't get up is that you won't see any of my recent paintings which are easily the best I've done. You are all alone now aren't you? Let me tell you that I have thought of you a great deal this last week, in fact, I had a dream about you last night and in it you were my wife and I must say it was swell. I will tell you more about it when I know you better my dear. I am planning to leave here in two weeks or so. I will let you know definitely so that I can see you, that is, if you still want to see me. I have been at my work so long that I am getting very lonely for you. I have sold some more pictures since I last wrote you, in fact, all of my best pictures have been sold. Will try and write a good letter soon but until then this will let you know that I am thinking of you and counting the days till I see you. Love Andy Mailed Tuesday, September 27, 1938 Dearest, Just a note to let you know that I will see you Thursday night. It seems wonderful that I will see you again so please don't disappoint me Love, Andy Condition:

LETTER FROM ANDREW WYETH (AMERICAN, 1917-2009) TO ALICE MOORELetter from ANDREW WYETH (American, 1917-2009) to Alice Moore, Sunday, May 15, 1938; mailed Monday, May 16, 1938 Dearest Alice, I saw you six days ago yet it seems more like sixty to me. I try to think about what happened when I was with you, but it all seems like a dream I don't understand it at all. I often wonder if you miss me any, but as you don't really love me, I guess you don't. Excuse me for bringing this up again, it's just because I feel so lonely here. There's not much spring up here, in fact it's more like winter. The trees are still bare and it's pretty cold. Today has been a perfect Sunday, dark and rainy. I have spent the day reading and trying to get some letters off to the family. I certainly hope these first few weeks go quickly or I will go crazy. It takes me so damn long to get acclimated to this place. I am as nervous as a bed bug until I get to work. I have been chopping a good deal of wood which has helped a little. It's strange the way most people think all an artist has to do is sit down and paint and I know a great many ones that do it that way and their work looks it. Maybe mine does too, but I can't work that way, but until I do get to work I feel terrible and that is how I feel now, and it's no fun. It certainly was nice seeing you looking so well, you really look like a different person. I am almost afraid what you might do when you hit this Maine air. I have been invited to several meals with the fisherman, which has been very interesting they certainly are great people and they know how to eat too. I hope to start on a portrait sometime this week if everything goes right, although I may hold off for another week in just looking things over. Damn it! Why can't you be here with me. Everything seems to be wrong. I guess I had better stop before I say something I shouldn't. I will write you a better letter in a few days when I pull my senses together. You take it easy now and get lots of sleep and food. Much love to you my dear, Andy Condition:

FOUR LETTERS FROM ANDREW WYETH
FOUR LETTERS FROM ANDREW WYETH (AMERICAN, 1917-2009) TO ALICE MOOREFour Letters from ANDREW WYETH (American, 1917-2009) to Alice Moore, Friday, September 17, 1937; mailed Saturday, September 18, 1937 My Dearest Alice: The rest of the family left last Tuesday so I am now very much alone. I have been thinking a great deal about you and realizing more and more what a splendid girl you are and what little hope I have of ever becoming your husband although I know we belong together, Alice, I know it as well as my right hand and by God, I'm going to do something about it. What I want to know from you is do you love me or is it hopeless? Please tell me the truth. I wish I could make you out. [Illegible sentence, crossed out] One minute you are very warm to me and the next, oh hell I give up - excuse me. Well I heard form N.Y. today and Mr. Macbeth is planning to give me my show the middle of October which is really a very good time. That means I have to leave here before I expected to though which I am sorry about and I think its worth it, don't you? Also I have been asked to have a one man show in Utica New York at the Williams Proctor Institute, which isn't so bad either. We have been having some foggy weather here for the past week so I have been working in the studio most of the time and have enjoyed it very much. It's really very cozy with the fire going. I think I have some good pictures started too. I hope you are well and that you haven't forgotten about me. I love you I love you I adore and want you but what's the use. Andy Saturday, October 2, 1937; mailed Saturday, October 2, 1937 Dearest Darling - Please, please forgive me for not writing since I have been working so hard that I forgot all about time but not about you I never can you are on my mind day and night and how often I have wished you could be here with me. I always thought that I would never need anyone as I need you . Alice, I want you to be near me always. I need you more than you need me I know although as time goes by I think you will change - I hope so anyway. Well, I have been working in Egg Tempera for the last two weeks and by God I like it I have done several landscapes and am now working on a portrait of a fellow who to me expresses Maine of today. Mr. Sidney Chase the artist who lives in Martinsville can't seem to understand why I should want to paint the worst drunk in Martinsville, but as I told him, I am not interested in painting the picturesque Maine of yesterday but want to paint it as it is today and to me this fellow is typical of Maine of today. I really think I am getting a good one. The name of the fellow is Charles Ervine, ask Jim Balano about him. Thursday I went to the Union Fair and had a swell time, went up with several fellows from the port. Mr. Ervine went also and passed out. I will tell about it when I see you. I want to get this in the mail so I had better stop by saying that I love you so much that it worries me. Andy [Accompanied by a black and white page of an exhibition catalouge depicting "Charles Ervine" by Andrew Wyeth] Thursday, October 14, 1937 My Dearest Alice, Just received word from Macbeth Gallery that my show opens October 19th, so I am planning to arrive in Poughkeepsie Friday night. Hoping that you will be there - Much love, Andy P.S. Could you let Bill Balano know. October, 1937, a Monday after the Macbeth show; mailed Tuesday, October 26, 1937. My Dearest Alice, Just a note to let you know that I am planning to call you from New York City Wednesday night about supper time. My show has gone well. I have sold everything and most of the reviews have been good. You have been on my mind night and day and how I do miss you. I had really a swell time with you in Poughkeepsie and I want to thank you my sweet I love I love you and I love you and by God just watch me. Excuse the terrible writing and also the shortness of this. I love you. Andy Condition:

TWO LETTERS FROM ANDREW WYETH
TWO LETTERS FROM ANDREW WYETH (AMERICAN, 1917-2009) TO ALICE MOORETwo Letters from ANDREW WYETH (American, 1917-2009) to Alice Moore, mis-dated April 15, 1938; mailed Thursday, April 14, 1938 --> Don't put Philadelphia on your letters. Dearest Alice: It is now 10 P.M. I have just come in after taking a long walk by myself [in margine: "not really, I had my dog Lupe along] in the moonlight it was beautiful, the pale cool haze of the countryside was almost more than I could stand. It made me feel as if I could walk for ever and never tire. It also made me feel very lonely and sad to think of how time is passing and things are changing it's strange the way you never think of time when you are young. (I am talking as if I am an old man.) I am a strange person because I find that the less I see of people, the happier I am. This must sound very strange coming from such a young boy but I mean it. The more I see of cities the more I like the country. When I am in the city I am lost. Every time I go to New York, I can't tell you what it does to me, but it certainly is awful. If you can get to Maine this summer we must certainly plan to take some walks in the moonlight. That was a grand letter you wrote me Alice. It made me feel very sad to think that you can't spend all of your time writing, because your writing shows that you have the stuff. I hope you won't be to much of a different person Alice when you are fully recovered because I am still hoping, just give me a little time. I have been spending the last three weeks getting together research materials for a story at Burgundy in 1150. It's damn well written. It's by Allen French the brother of Daniel Chester French, sculptor. I am doing black and white drawings for it. Really, you would laugh to see the pile of books of research I have around me in the studio. It's a hell of a mess. [Sketch of AW surrounded by books] Also, I just finished a water color for a book on Maine with the Stephen Daye Press are publishing. When it comes out, I will send you a copy. Carolyn told me to tell you to take it easy and don't drink too much beer. Henriette's paintings look extremely beautiful in her show. I don't understand why it doesn't make more of a hit. All I can say is that New York is nuts. I wish you could have seen it, damn shame. I am really sorry that Scribner's article ever came out. I thought it was very poorly written, don't you? And I thought that the pictures were just plain bad. It's impossible for me to do Maine pictures in Chadds Ford. Well you be good now and get well and I will be up and see you. I am thinking about you, much love, Andy Monday March 14, 1938 [postcard] Dear Alice, What a place Maine is in the winter it's stunning, you don't know it until you see it this time of year. We left Port Clyde this morning at five o'clock and had breakfast with Kenneth Roberts at Kennebunkport. He is a grand person, you would like him I know. Also had a nice time with Ben Ames Wil[?] Love Andy [verso] We are spending the night here in Concord. Have you ever been here? It's lovely this time of year - rather cold but no snow, which I am sorry about. I was surprised not to find it colder in Port Clyde. Condition:

God! But its been lonely for me since you left. I know now how much I really need you and how desperately I am in love with you . I certainly hope that anything that happened the other night has not changed your feelings towards me because if it has I ought to be shot, but please, please don't let it my darling I couldn't stand it. If you do ever learn to love me and will wait for me I feel very confident that I will make a success of my art and I am sure that it won't be long. I wish I could write clearly what I mean. I know that if I had a girl like you around me long I could really do things with my painting and my dull mind. I really mean this from the bottom of my soul. If it isn't asking too much I wish you would write to me some time will you, Alice. I am writing this in my studio it's about ten o'clock PM. The rest of the family have gone to Rockland to see a show. I feel rather lonely and yet I feel happy when I think of you and then I am glad to be alone. I am getting up at three thirty tomorrow morning to go hauling so I guess I had better say good night to you my love my darling I do miss you terribly. Andy P.S.

I know that I must have been dull as hell and I certainly am sorry if I bored you. I hope you don't think I am like that all the time because I am not. You would find me a very different person if I was with you longer - my Dearest I want you. I feel so lonely and I am so afraid something might come between us. I know that we are made for each other . When I travel very much I get into a fog. I am one that should not travel if I hope to do anything. I just heard that the poet Witter Bynner [1881-1968] is an illegitimate son of Walt Whitman, which is very interesting I think. I certainly want you to meet him if he comes to New York again. I am enclosing two small photographs of water colors I painted in 1936. The one of [the] fisherman in the dory is the boy that was drowned off of our point. Both of these water colors were sold last week. My work in the studio is coming along well. The work on the self-portrait is slow. There is no better training for an artist than self-portraiture. I really think that every artist should do it just as a study. One gets very little accurate drawing out of landscape. There are very few landscape painters that can paint portraits, which I think is very bad. I was working outside today on a landscape. It was beautifully clear and cold with a brisk wind. The color was very rich, deep browns and purple shadows. I have a good landscape start, also I think I have [sketch of a landscape with a house and tree] a good cold from it, damn it! I love winter landscapes but the cold gets me. If only my health holds out I will be able to paint something good sometime. I was so happy to find your mother and father looking well. I wish him the best of luck on his book. It will give you a great deal more chance to do what you want and you certainly do deserve it. I am going to try to plan to see you again soon, that is if you can stand it. Can you? I miss you Alice more and more and still I want Moore. Why do we have to live so far apart I think it's terrible. Well remember that I am thinking of you and waiting and someday you will see something good by Andrew Wyeth.

LETTER FROM ANDREW WYETH (AMERICAN, 1917-2009) TO ALICE MOORELetter from ANDREW WYETH (American, 1917-2009) to Alice Moore, Mailed Mid-November, 1938 Dearest, I was very upset to hear that you are again ill. I certainly hope that you will take better care of yourself after this, but please don't try and get up before you should. I do hope you can make it to our party but if you can't I will see you soon any way. Well, I have been working hard and I think have really been doing some good work. Finished up a tempera painting and am working on another also have done several large water colors which everyone here thinks are the best I have done. I thought the Boston papers were very good to me, in fact, much better than New York. If the writers in the future are as good to me as they were I will be lucky. Boston you know is a hard place to break in to. I sold four large water colors. The trouble was is that most of my best pictures were sold before the show opened. In fact, quite a number of people want me to make copies of the water colors they liked which were sold, the damn fools . Well, my show opens tomorrow in Philadelphia. I am enclosing some clippings out of today's papers. Just wait old dear, I'll show the world what painting is. I am planning to go South after Thanksgiving for a couple weeks and I do want to see you before this. So please try and come down as I do want to see you. Will write soon, in fact, in a couple of days.
