Andrew Wyeth: Memory and Magic
UNITED STATES
PHILADELPHIA  •  Philadelphia Museum of Art  •  Ongoing
 

Previously on view at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, approximately one hundred tempera paintings, watercolors, and drawings, many from the personal collection of Andrew and Betsy Wyeth, are shown together for the first time.

The exhibition focuses on recurrent themes in the artist's work, such as domestic interiors, vessels and architecture, intimate and panoramic landscapes, friends and family, and still-life subjects, many of which reflect personal as well as universally shared emotions and concepts. The works will be organized both chronologically and thematically to demonstrate how these subjects were born in Wyeth's early career, became distinct in his middle period, and have been revisited in new and startling ways in recent years.
