ANDREW WYETH (1917-2009)

Known today as the Master of American Realism, Andrew Wyeth was one of the most popular artist's of our time. Already a celebrity in the 1920s, with the likes of novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald and silent film star Mary Pickford among his admirers, he created art and controversy for most of the 20th century.
Rejected by art critics - they said he gave realism a bad name - he went on to create some of the most compelling art of the century. To read about his life, read Michael Kimmelman's article in The New York Times.
