So much talent in one family, tied so closely to one particular Pennsylvania community! This class is an introduction to the illustrious Wyeth family of Chadds Ford. The focus will be on the environments of the Brandywine Valley and Cushing, Maine, and their denizens who so heavily influenced the art of the children of the famous illustrator, N.C. Please note that this is not a class on artistic technique or art history, although we will touch on the effects of egg tempera and the magical realism in some of the works. Our focus will be on N.C., Andrew, Jamie, Ann, and Carolyn and their artworks relative to the Chadds Ford and Maine communities, with particular emphasis on Andrew. And for those of you who remember, yes, we will be talking about the Helga series and showing a recent interview with her!
