The Wyeths: An Art Dynasty

For over a century the remarkable Wyeth dynasty has been a dominant presence in American art: Massachusetts born N.C. Wyeth, the foremost illustrator of his time; his son, Andrew, vastly admired for subtle images of his rural world; Andrew’s sister Carolyn, who painted and taught art out of the Wyeth house; and Andrew’s son Jamie, a contemporary
realist who has created arresting visual imagery of both new and inherited themes. We will venture into all things Wyeth—from their personal lives, to the beloved people and landscapes they painted, to the Wyeth’s place in the history of 19th and 20th-century American illustrated art and realistic painting, to fellow artists of the period, including Howard Pyle, Frederic Remington, Winslow Homer, and Norman Rockwell, to the museums in both Pennsylvania and Maine that are dedicated to their work.
