Andrew
Wyeth - Biography
Andrew Wyeth
(1917 -). American painter, noted for his interpretations of the people
and the austere rural landscapes of Pennsylvania and Maine. Wyeth
was born in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and was trained by his father,
the illustrator and muralist Newell Convers Wyeth. Andrew Wyeth held
his first one-man show at the age of 20 and scored an immediate success.
His media are chiefly watercolor and tempera; his colors are predominantly
subtle shades of brown and gray. In his compositions he displays technical
brilliance, realism, and affection for his subjects. Among Wyeth's
best-known works are Christina's World (1948, Museum of Modern Art,
New York City), Her Room (1963, Farnsworth Museum, Rockland, Me.),
and Spring Fed (1967, W. E. Weiss, Jr., Collection). Perhaps the most
popular painter of his day, he received the U.S. Presidential Medal
of Freedom in 1963, and in 1970 he became the first living artist
to be accorded an exhibition in the White House. In 1986, 240 previously
unknown works, all studies of a woman named Helga, were revealed to
the public for the first time. Andrew Wyeth's son, James Browning
Wyeth, is also an artist.
