Andrew Wyeth, 1917-2009

Andrew Wyeth, Christina's World, 1948

I grew up in Wilmington, Delaware and don’t have THAT many things to take pride in regarding my hometown, save for for tax-free shopping, Joe Biden…and George Thorogood. At any rate, the Wyeth family, and their close associations with Delaware and the surrounding area, are a point of pride for me.  This past August on a trip home I visited the Brandwyine River Museum which has an exceptional collection of paintings (as well as some fascinating artifacts) by the Wyeths.
