Andrew Newell Wyeth

Andrew Newell Wyeth , 1917-, American painter, b. Chadds Ford, Pa. Wyeth's work has been enormously popular and critically acclaimed since his first one-man show in 1937. He was trained by his father, the noted illustrator N. C. Wyeth . The places and people of Chadds Ford and Cushing, Maine, are his principal subjects and they are portrayed in a meticulous, naturalistic style. The best-known of Wyeth's paintings, Christina's World (1948), is at the Museum of Modern Art, New York City. His "Helga" pictures, a large group of intimate portraits of a neighbor, painted over many years, were first shown publicly in 1986.
