I was not aware he was still living. R.I.P.

Art ping.

Rest in peace, Mr. Wyeth.

Now there is an American treasure and the only example of talent being passed down in the genes. From N. C. Wyeth to Andrew Wyeth to Jamie Wyeth, over 100 years of great art. I have never seen another family produce three consecutive generations of artistic genius the way this family has.

God bless them.

Good post. You’re correct, they have such an exceptional family!

Sad news. My husband’s parents were friends of his sister Henriette Wyeth and her husband Peter Hurd. A really talented bunch of people.

You beat me to it! I’ve always loved Wyeth’s work. May he rest in peace.

I was not aware he was still living.

Same here. Mr. Detra, a HS teacher of mine, would not be happy with me for not knowing!

Wyeth was one of the few whose work I actually considered art. I was very critical in my "art appreciation" class. Thankfully, Mr. Detra was cool with opposing viewpoints.

The dog on the bed is my favorite too. RIP Mr. Wyeth.

I love that one as well.

Talented family.
Rest in peace

My all time favorite also. My dog looks just like that only he sleeps at the foot of the bed.
