Description

This intimate look at Wyeth s decades-long connection to Kuerner Farm and the people there reveals not only the source of many of the artist s most deeply resonant paintings but the secrets that have given his deceptively simple art its mysterious pull on the popular imagination for generations. As Wyeth became one of the country s 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.
