Artist Andrew Wyeth Dies at 91
Andrew Wyeth, one of the most popular and also most lambasted artists in the history of American art, a reclusive lynchpin in a colorful family dynasty of artists from tiny Chadds Ford, Penn., whose precise realist views of hardscrabble rural life became icons of national culture and sparked endless debates about the nature of modern art, has died at his home in suburban Philadelphia, The Associated Press reported. Pictured is his 1946 painting “Winter.”
