For admirers of the art of the Wyeth Family, NC Wyeth is ‘the great illustrator,’ the man with as much gusto as the swashbucklers he painted.  Andrew is ‘the painter of old barns.’ and many an admirer has said that if only Andrew could see a broken gate or window, he would  paint it.  Jamie Wyeth paints animals in interesting poses and bucolic settings.  NC is acclaimed for his accuracy of historical detail, Andrew for the detail itself, and James for the lushness of his paint.  These artists depict easily recognizable things, but there is a greater depth to their art– the art of NC, his son and grandson has been deeply affected by both cultural and historical events in American national life.  To discover their unique visions, join Beth Stein as she looks at the traditions they share, at the life of their family, and the influences upon it.
