Andrew Wyeth was an American painter born on 12 July 1917 in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. Wyeth’s artistic education came from his father, who was also an artist. At age 16, Wyeth exhibited at the Wilmington Society of the Fine Arts for the first time, grabbing the attention of art dealer Robert Macbeth. In 1937, Macbeth organized Andrew’s first solo exhibition.
Two years later, Wyeth married Betsy Merle James, who became his manager and curator. Wyeth continued gaining recognition through the 1950s, exhibiting widely and receiving an honorary doctorate from Harvard University. The earlier death of his father and the aftermath of the Second World War had visible impacts on his subject matter and palette.
Wyeth’s later works caused a lot of controversies due to his exploration of his subject’s sexualities. However, Leonard E.B. Andrews purchased the collection of paintings in 1986 and exhibited them the following year at the National Gallery of Art in Washington. He continued painting privately and died on 16 January 2009.
