Art History Lecture Series | Three Generations of Wyeths

Jamie Wyeth, whose dark and mysterious oil paintings are the subject of an upcoming exhibition at the Frye, is the son and grandson of artists. N. C. Wyeth’s illustrations for classic adventure novels like Kidnapped thrilled thousands of young readers, and Andrew Wyeth’s meticulous renderings of rural Maine and Pennsylvania made him one of the twentieth century’s most beloved painters.
