Andrew Newell Wyeth ( WY-eth; July 12, 1917 – January 16, 2009) was an American visual artist, primarily a realist painter, working predominantly in a regionalist style. He was one of the best-known U.S. artists of the center 20th century.
In his art, Wyeth’s favorite subjects were the home and people approaching him, both in his hometown of Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and at his summer house in Cushing, Maine. Wyeth often said: “I paint my life.” One of the best-known images in 20th-century American art is his painting Christina’s World, currently in the gathering of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. This put-on executed in tempera was painted in 1948 when Wyeth was 31 years old.
