Andrew Wyeth

Andrew Wyeth (born 1917) is a staggeringly popular American realist artist. Still painting today, but his work's rural themes and abandoned farmhouses seem rooted in a pre-World War II America which has been left far behind. Critics attribute Wyeth's popularity to nostalgia, but the bleak and unsentimentalized atmosphere in his paintings suggests that the full explanation is much more complex.
His creations are observant, independent, quixotic, romantic and never "merely real."
