In its exhibition Up East: Andrew Wyeth in Maine, the Brandywine Museum of Art in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, the rural area where Andrew Wyeth lived half of the year, celebrates the paintings he created in the coastal area where he spent the spring and summer.
The 31 watercolors, two major temperas and fascinating archival materials are drawn from the collection of the Wyeth Foundation for American Art. William Coleman is the inaugural Wyeth Foundation curator and director of the Andrew & Betsy Wyeth Study Center at the Brandywine Museum. He explains, “The circa 7,000 artworks that comprise the Wyeth Foundation Collection were preserved and documented by Betsy James Wyeth with the goal of creating a representative overview of Andrew Wyeth’s life’s work with a view to posterity.”
