Wyeth’s Christina’s World Heads to the Brandywine River Museum
Posted by Kelly
Andrew Wyeth’s family, along with the Brandywine River Museum in Chadds Ford, Pa., is hosting a celebration of the late artist’s life and work at the museum this Saturday, Jan. 31. In addition to free admission to the museum from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the fête features the artist’s most famous painting, “Christina’s World”—on view for the first time in the region—loaned from the Museum of Modern Art. A documentary, Self-Portrait: Snow Hill, which includes family footage, photos and personal letters (and is narrated by the artist’s wife, Betsy James Wyeth), will screen every hour. And as always, the museum’s Andrew Wyeth Gallery features 38 of the artist’s other watercolor, dry brush and tempera paintings, and the N.C. Wyeth Gallery holds approximately 40 paintings and illustrations by Andrew’s father, N.C. Wyeth. Enjoy the celebration!

In Memoriam: Andrew Wyeth
Posted by jessica
While we were sad to hear the news of American painter Andrew Wyeth’s death today, we thought there’s no better time to celebrate his prolific painting career and beautiful life than the present. Our staff was lucky enough to receive a guided tour of the exhibition, "Andrew Wyeth: Watercolors and Drawings," at the Cincinnati Art Museum in 2007 by none other than the artist’s granddaughter Victoria Wyeth. How fascinating it was to see in person exactly how the artist’s watercolors and drawings informed his finished temperas—evident especially in the 10 studies for Christina’s World—but perhaps more interesting was learning about the Wyeth legacy. Victoria explained what it meant to her once it sunk in that she was part of the tribe. “To make the connection that the people sitting across the table and living next door to you are the people in the paintings—once that clicks, it’s the most amazing thing,” said Victoria. “He always says, ‘Vic, I’m painting my life.’ And he is painting his life, but he’s painting my life, too.” Read more details from The New York Times and The Washington Post.

Andrew Wyeth Wins the 2007 National Medal of Arts
Posted by jessica
 Congratulations are in order for artist Andrew Wyeth, who was presented a 2007 National Medal of Arts yesterday by President Bush. According to the National Endowment for the Arts, “Wyeth received the award for ‘a lifetime of paintings whose meticulous realism have captured the American consciousness, and whose austere vision has displayed the depth and dignity of rural American life.’ ” This isn’t by any means the first national honor the artist has received. In addition to earning the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1963) and the Congressional Gold Medal (1988), he’s been elected into the Académie des Beaux-Arts (1977) and the first living American artist elected into Britain's Royal Academy (1980). What more can we say? He’s a true modern master. His father N.C. would be proud. Photo: National Endowment for the Arts

Rarely Seen Andrew Wyeth Works in Youngstown, Ohio
Posted by jessica
 The Butler Institute of American Art features Andrew Wyeth Watercolors and Drawings: Selections from the Marunuma Art Park Collection, Japan, 114 watercolors and drawings of landscapes, portraits and still lifes inspired by siblings Christina and Alvaro Olsen in Cushing, Maine (through December 16). Our staff had the honor of viewing the exhibition here in Cincinnati last February, where it made its debut at the Cincinnati Art Museum. (The Butler Institute is the third and final tour stop.) Guided through the private collection by the artist’s own granddaughter, Victoria Wyeth, we were fascinated to see in person exactly how the artist’s watercolors and drawings inform his finished temperas—evident especially in the 10 studies for Christina’s World. It was particularly interesting to learn what being a part of the Wyeth legacy entails. “To make the connection that the people sitting across the table and living next door to you are the people in the paintings—once that clicks, it’s the most amazing thing,” said Victoria. “He always says, ‘Vic, I’m painting my life.’ And he is painting his life, but he’s painting my life, too.” Image from www.butlerart.com.
