N.C. Wyeth’s extraordinary skills as an illustrator were borne of impeccable draftsmanship and as a painter, his warmly rich, harmonious sense of color, and ability to capture the quality of light itself. But it is his unmatched artistry in vivifying story and character with a powerful sense of mood that we admire most of all — the ability to transport himself to the world and time of his creation and to convey it with a beguiling sense of conviction. That ability is as apparent in the compositional complexities of Treasure Island’s “One More Step, Mr. Hands!” as it is here, in the summary account of a square-rigged, seventeenth-century merchant ship tossed upon the seas. The Coming of the Mayflower in 1620 is a simple statement of observable facts, yet Wyeth’s impeccable genius as an illustrator imbues it with the bracing salt air and taste that captures the adventuresome spirit of the men and women who are largely credited with the founding of America. That spirit is carried on the wind and tautly billowed sails, the jaunty heeling of the ship at the nose of a stiff gale, the thrusting, streamed-limned clouds, and the gulls jauntily arranged to celebrate an arrival as they are the feathered angels of providence guiding it to safe harbor.<br><br>The Coming of the Mayflower in 1620 was based on two studies, a composition drawing in graphite and a small presentation painting.

    "The Coming of the Mayflower in 1620" (1941) カリフォルニア州パームデザートの弊社ギャラリーで展示中です。

N.C.ワイエスのイラストレーターとしての並外れた能力は、非の打ち所のない下書きから生まれ、画家としては、暖かく豊かで調和のとれた色彩感覚と、光の質そのものをとらえる能力から生まれたものです。しかし、私たちが最も賞賛するのは、ストーリーとキャラクターを力強いムードで生き生きと表現する比類なき芸術性、つまり、創作の世界と時代に自分を引き込み、魅力的な説得力をもってそれを伝える能力なのです。その能力は、宝島の「あと一歩、ミスター・ハンズ！」の複雑な構成にも、17世紀の商船が海に翻弄される様子を描いたこの作品にも、はっきりと表れている。1620年のメイフラワー 号の来航は、観察可能な事実を述べただけのシンプルなものだが、ワイスのイラストレーターとしての非の打ち所のない才能は、アメリカ建国に大きく貢献したとされる男女の冒険心をとらえた、さわやかな塩気と味わいをこの作品に吹き込んでいる。その精神は、風と張りのある帆、強風にあおられた船の愉快な傾き、突き立つ流線型の雲、到着を祝うために軽快に配置されたカモメなどが、安全な港に導く摂理の羽の天使のように伝わってきます。

1620年のメイフラワー 号の来航は、黒鉛による構成図と小さなプレゼンテーション用の絵の2つの習作に基づいている。完成した壁画は、1941年に設置されたようです。

「ニューイングランド絵画のシリーズにふさわしい題材として、プリマスとピルグリムに思いを馳せるのは自然なことでした。もし、これらの絵画の暖かさと魅力が、それらを学ぶ人々に明らかになるとすれば、それは主として、これらの絵画が、何らかの形で、私自身の人生と遺産を表現しているからである。- N.C.ワイエス

歴史

テレビが登場する前、映画がまだ黎明期だった時代、N・C・ワイエスのイラストは、彼が視覚的に形作り、注釈を加えた物語に衝撃を与えていた。宝島』の読者であれば、次のイラストが気になって仕方がないだろう。あるいは、期待に胸を膨らませながら、ページを何度もめくり、生き生きとした、威厳に満ちた絵に目を奪われることだろう。  

1939年、メトロポリタン生命社は、ワイスに別の種類の依頼をしました。一連のキャンバス壁画は、おそらく虚勢を張るのではなく、時代と場所に対する深い感覚を頼りにしたものでした。エネルギッシュで壮大なビジョンを提供し、アメリカ人であることを意味する強い価値観を称えることによって、国の誇りの精神を表現するものです。ワイエスは大喜びでした。彼が制作を承諾した14枚の壁画は、ピルグリムの世界を生き生きと描き出し、「ニューイングランドの精神をグラフィックかつドラマチックに表現する役割を果たす」（ダグラス・アレン他著『N. C. ワイエス:The Collected Paintings, Illustrations, and Murals, pg .169)。 比類なき芸術家であり、物語に登場する人物の信憑性を追求するワイスは、自分の祖先の過去に対して感じていた誇りを伝える機会を喜んだのである。

「初期の植民地化、特にマサチューセッツのピルグリムたちのロマンに、私はいつも胸を躍らせていた。私の祖先であるニコラス・ワイエスは、1647年にウェールズからマサチューセッツに渡ってきた。マサチューセッツ海岸の初期の精神は、私の家ではよく話題になりました。私はプリマスの町からほど近いニーダムで生まれ、少年時代には何度も巡礼し、その歴史的な土地とその周辺で刺激的な日々を過ごしました。このような背景から、ニューイングランド絵画のシリーズにふさわしい題材として、プリマスとピルグリムに思いを馳せるのは自然なことでした。もし、これらの絵が温かく、魅力的であるとすれば、それは、これらの絵が、何らかの形で、私自身の人生と遺産を表現しているからにほかなりません」。(Douglas Allen, et al.,N. C. Wyeth:Wyeth:The Collected Paintings, Illustrations and Murals, pg. 171)。
