THE WYETHS: THREE GENERATIONS OF AMERICAN ART

Format B/C

The quiet landscape of the Brandywine River Valley, nestled between Delaware and Pennsylvania, is home to the Wyeth family, which has produced three generations of American artists. The illustrations of N.C. Wyeth (1882-1945) brought classics such as Treasure Island and Robinson Crusoe to life for generations of children. Andrew Wyeth (1917-2009) explored and expanded on the regionalist style of painting. Jamie Wyeth (1946 -), both adopted and adapted the styles and subject matter of his father’s and grandfather’s works. This class will explore the history of this extraordinary family of artists.
