Andrew Wyeth (1917-) View Andrew Wyeth's Art Prints Born July 12, 1917, the youngest of five children, Wyeth is considered to be the most "collectible" of all living American Realist Painters. He held his first one-man show, of watercolors painted around the family's summer home at Port Clyde, Maine in 1937. Wyeth's rural themes and abandoned farmhouses seem rooted in a pre-World War II America, left far behind. Though critics often attribute Wyeth's popularity to nostalgia, the bleak and unsentimentalized atmosphere in his paintings suggests that people enjoy his work for much more. He is most noted for his portraits and austere rural landscapes of Pennsylvania and Maine. He was born in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and was trained by his father, American illustrator and muralist Newell Convers Wyeth. Andrew Wyeth paints primarily in watercolor and tempera with subtle shades of brown and gray. His works display technical brilliance, realism, and affection for his subjects. They appear rough in theme, but are quite exquisite in their approach to capture the truth in nature. View Andrew Wyeth's Art Prints
