American artist and icon Andrew Wyeth spent 70 years finding beauty at one particular farm in Pennsylvania — producing nearly 1,000 works during his frequent visits.
Now, that site and his obsessive artistic vision are the focus of a new nationally touring exhibition, Andrew Wyeth at Kuerner Farm: The Eye of the Earth, which debuted at the Reynolda House Museum of American Art earlier this week.
What to expect
Bringing together beloved and never-before-seen works from public and private collections, including rare pieces from Wyeth’s own family, Eye of the Earth is a once-in-a-generation chance to see Wyeth’s evolving relationship with this singular landscape.
It highlights how the light, land, and water continually captured his imagination, evolving in his depictions throughout the twentieth century.
Eye of the Earth will remain on display in WS until Sunday, May 25, before heading to the Brandywine Museum of Art near Kuerner Farm.
