  • Celebrating Andrew Wyeth the American Artist’S Centennial Is Being Honored with Two Major Retrospectives of His Work
    along the way Celebrating Andrew Wyeth The American artist’s centennial is being honored with two major retrospectives of his work. Andrew Wyeth may have been a favorite of U.S. presidents. In 1963, he became the first painter to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom when John F. Kennedy bestowed the honor. Richard Nixon once sponsored a White House exhibition of works by the Pennsylvania- and Maine- based artist, and both Bushes honored Wyeth, with the Congressional Gold Medal in 1990 and the National Medal of the Arts in 2007. At the other end of the spectrum, comic- strip character Snoopy owned a Wyeth that he displayed prominently in his doghouse. In between, the artist was alternately lauded and dismissed by critics but remained a perennial commercial favorite. This year marks the centennial of Wyeth’s birth, and two major museum retrospectives have been assembled NORTH CAROLINA MUSEUM OF ART, RALEIGH ART, OF MUSEUM CAROLINA NORTH ©ANDREW WYETH/ARTISTS RIGHTS SOCIETY (ARS), RIGHTS WYETH/ARTISTS ©ANDREW for the occasion.

Graduate students must pursue their own course of study with pre-ordained projects throughout the semester. The graduate student to their professor may propose desired objectives and mediums in addition to those in the course. The professor and graduate student work together to finalize a plan of advanced study. Graduate students will attend all reviews and critiques of student work, adding their voice and commenting on individual progress and solutions in bookmaking. Graduate students will honor the AVT 346 schedule. Please see syllabus and schedule of classes attached. GRADING: Graduate student work will be reviewed during the semester and a final grade of A+/A/A-/B+/B/B-/C/F will be submitted for work produced. Purpose: This course is intended as an upper level and graduate level collaboration to blow open drawing possibilities. While sustaining dialogue about the standards and attitudes of drawn media to provide ways of developing concepts and technical approaches for creating works of art, students will also test alternate drawing approaches. First we will work on several projects to acquire skills for materials, process and equipment. Students may practice reductive and additive techniques in preparing paper surfaces for non-objective and representational imagery. Students will develop ways to explore their imagery through presentations by visiting artists.

    NUMBER 52 • SPRING 2015 43 Cennini, were introduced to Wyeth by Peter Hurd. Th e photographer James Welling provided a link between the conference at the Gallery and the intense fi eld trip to the Brandywine River Museum held the following day. In his talk, Welling described his understanding of the perceptual acuity of Wyeth, whose work he had studied as a youth and returned to in 2010, photographing sites that Wyeth inhabited and rep- resented. Welling’s photography has been called a kind of ventriloquism, and his studies of Wyeth’s territory in particular a kind of haunting. Th rough working in Maine and Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, over the past few years, Welling says that he has come to see how his own interest in frames, fram- ing edges, windows, and doorways, Fig. 1.

  • Christina's World
    From Henry’s Desk…………..Christina’s World Twelve years ago I wrote an article entitled “Christina’s World.” The article was about Christina Olson who was the young woman in the painting by Andrew Wyeth. A print of the painting is below. Several weeks ago, Dr. Mike Grizzard, a specialist in infectious diseases, called me on the phone. He informed me that Christina’s World would be on the cover of an upcoming issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases. This medical journal is the main journal for infectious disease specialists. Dr. Grizzard and his wife Mary are responsible for selecting the cover of each issue. Mary Grizzard has a doctorate in art history. They used portions of my article which was originally published in the Deja View in 2000. The article does not appear to be on the web site of the Central Virginia Post Polio Support Group, but readers can get a copy of the 2000 article by e-mailing me at [email protected]. The explanation of the cover of the journal is copied below the picture. On the cover: “Christina’s World” by Andrew Wyeth (American, 1917-2009). Tempura on gessoed panel. 1948. The Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY. Art Resource, NY. Reproduced with permission. In recounting the events of 1948 in his book, Truman, author David McCullough wrote, “It was the year, too, of Christina’s World, a haunting portrait by Andrew Wyeth of a crippled woman and a forsaken house on a bleak New England hill...that would become one of the most popular paintings ever done by an American.” Following the polio epidemic of 1916 in which over 27,000 contracted the disease and 6000 died, most assumed that any “crippled person” would have been affected by the disease, yet her condition remains an enigma.

  • Farnsworth Art Museum Arts in Education Program
    Farnsworth Art Museum Arts in Education Program Artist Biography: Andrew Newell Wyeth ​ Wyeth, Andrew, "Her Room," 1963, 64.1313 ANDREW NEWELL WYETH was born in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, on July 12, 1917, a son of ​ the internationally renowned painter and illustrator N.C. Wyeth and his wife Carolyn Bockius Wyeth. Theirs was a creative family: Henriette Wyeth Hurd, Carolyn Wyeth and Andrew were painters; Ann Wyeth McCoy was a composer; and son Nathaniel was an engineer and inventor with many patents to his credit. At age 15, Wyeth began his artistic training in his father's studio. In that year, on one of his boyhood walks, he discovered the Chadds Ford farm of Karl and Anna Kuerner. Wyeth was intrigued by Kuerner, a German immigrant and World War I veteran, developing a close relationship with him over the years. Wyeth has found subjects in the Kuerner farm's people, animals, buildings and landscapes for hundreds of works of art over more than 75 years. Belanger, Pamela J. Maine in America: American Art at The Farnsworth Museum, University Press of New England, 2000 ​ ​ Farnsworth Art Museum Arts in Education Program The Wyeth family spent summer months in Maine, and Andrew Wyeth's early watercolor landscapes, much influenced by the work of Winslow Homer met with enormous critical acclaim at his first one­man show at the William Macbeth Gallery in New York City in 1937. An exceedingly self­critical artist, this immediate success did not reassure him. Feeling that his work was too facile, he returned to his father's studio for further concentration on technique.
