The most private of artists was beguiled by a hardscrabble farm and its residents down the road from his studio, revealing some of his most personal friendships, and yielding some of his most iconic paintings.
Andrew Wyeth first discovered the haunting beauty of the farm owned by German immigrants Karl and Anna Kuerner on his boyhood rambles in Pennsylvanias bucolic Brandywine River Valley, and it would captivate him for the rest of his life, appearing as subject of more than one thousand landscapes, interiors, and portraits. As traced throughout this volume, just what Wyeth uncovered beneath the farms austere facade is key to understanding his singular artistic vision.
This intimate look at Wyeths decades-long connection to Kuerner Farm and the people there reveals not only the source of many of the artists most deeply resonant paintings but also the secrets that have given his deceptively simple art its mysterious pull on the popular imagination for generations. As Wyeth became one of the countrys most celebrated artists, he continued to return to the farm, the Kuerners, and to the enigmatic Helga Testorf, creating timeless portraits from an experience of deep looking and charting a way toward unearthing from the ordinary, the extraordinary.
