Andrew Wyeth, Goodbye, 2008
“The Foundation’s collection is the two wide and deep—and the majority of the performs have by no means been exhibited publicly. Among the strange aspects are 70 of Wyeth’s oil paintings—very exceptional is effective, principally from the 1930s, when he experimented with the medium prior to adopting tempera and watercolor as his most well-liked mediums. These paintings—such as Fox Grass Underneath Adams (1934), currently on watch at the Brandywine—reflect prevalent themes, but their model and tactic exhibit his evolution as an artist more than his complete profession. Wyeth is best identified for his tempera paintings, 48 of which are in the assortment, which includes his 1966 tribute to his spouse Betsy, titled Maga’s Daughter Black Hunter (1938), an scarce case in point of an early tempera and Wyeth’s final important portray, Goodbye (2008), which has not often been observed publicly.
