Artist Bio: Andrew Wyeth (1917–2009) was one of the most celebrated and widely recognized American artists of the 20th century. A preeminent realist painter, he is best known for his tempera and watercolor works depicting the landscapes and inhabitants of his two primary homes: Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and Cushing, Maine. His meticulously detailed style evokes a profound sense of place, memory, and quiet narrative. Wyeth’s work is held in the collections of nearly every major American museum, including The Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; and The Brandywine River Museum of Art, Chadds Ford.
