Tomorrow will mark the first anniversary of the passing of American painter Andrew Wyeth. Love his work or hate it, it’s hard to argue that he didn’t leave a significant mark by sheer longevity and productivity alone. I recall walking through The Brandywine River Museum, the Wyeth family’s “home” museum in Andy’s beloved Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, during their memorial day a week after his passing and wondering how his memory would be served. I’m not sure if it’s been a disservice or a case of no service at all. Please visit Picture This at Big Think to read more of "Year One."

Thank you for your blog interesting; I have a thought for the memory of M.Wyeth which was a painter, a truth no matter what one thinks about it, which is rather rare
