Just hope the Delco Coroner/Health Department doesn’t try to list her as COVID to pad the death toll.
Too much of that in PA already.

My bad—DelCo is the only Phillyburb County WITHOUT a County Health Department.

I have “Christina’s World” as my PC wallpaper. Wyeth was a genius. She must have been a fantastic woman.

Thanks for posting.
The Wyeth family are the first family of American Art IMO.
RIP Betsy.

Crystal Bridges Art Gallery in Bentonville, AR, has his painting “Airborne” which has a surreal quality.

The quintessential Wyeth painting. There is so much that can be read into it.
To: Albion Wilde
Andrew Wyeth had something in common with the average portrait artists of the middle ages. He often used Egg Tempera paints. Egg Temperas are difficult and time consuming to work with, but the results can appear remarkably natural.
Raw egg yolk, vinegar, water and powdered pigment.
After creating an under-painting of blocks of color, he would apply layers of the egg tempera. They produce translucent glazes you would never achieve using acrylic or oils.
Egg Yolk was also used in another well known piece.
Take my word for it, you have seen this one in some manner.
“The Birth of Venus” by Sandro Botticelli! One of my favorites of that era in that illustrative style. Done near year 1480.

N.C. Wyeth, Andrew’s father, is one of my favorite illustrators ever, just brilliant.
