Andrew Wyeth died yesterday. Painter, introvert, storyteller, thinker, the work and world of Wyeth are things I love.
I adore him for many reasons. Here are a few of those reasons.
1. He painted who and what he wanted, critics be damned. He didn't care that his work could not be labeled as one thing or another.
2. There is much more to his work than meets the eye. Most Andrew Wyeths that I have had the honor of seeing feature a psychology of space and place, symbolism and honest beauty - real beauty, which is not always BEAUTIFUL.
3. His palette. Oh his palette. It was so of the earth.
Please, if you have not had the good fortune to know this man in life, take some time to gaze upon "Christina's World" and the landscapes, especially those involving windows.
There are so many feelings and situations he saw and told us about in a visual language that is real, timeless and of the heart.
