Andrew Newell Wyeth was born on July 12, 1917 in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. One of the great artists of the 20th century, Wyeth was primarily a realist painter. Andrew Wyeth’s favorite subjects were the land and people around him, both around his hometown of Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and his summer home in Midcoast Maine.

He is perhaps best-known for his painting Christina’s World (1948), currently in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Andrew Wyeth passed away at the age of 91 on January 16, 2009. His father was the famous illustrator and painter of the Brandywine school, N. C. Wyeth, and his son, Jamie Wyeth, has continued in the strong painting tradition of his family.
