Biography:
Born in Pennsylvania, Andrew Newel Wyeth studied under his father, book illustrator Newel Convers Wyeth. After his father’s death in 1945, he began to paint watercolor and tempera landscapes and mixed his own pigments to create his distinctive subdued palette. He also was interested in painting the rural life in his home state, Pennsylvania, and in Maine. His portraits of these people are almost photographic in their degree of realism.
