The Brandywine River Museum in Chadds Ford is currently exhibiting the works of N.C. Wyeth, a prolific artist and magazine book illustrator. Those from nearby Media are sure to want to view this exhibit.
Featured are over 70 paintings ranging from his earliest cover of the Saturday Evening Post to landscapes, portraits, murals, and illustrations from the many magazines from which he drew his fame. Curator of historical properties and of the N.C. Wyeth collection at the museum, Christine Podmaniczky, said that the artist is known as Andrew Wyeth’s father and an illustrator of children’s Books and magazines, but there is much more to N.C. Wyeth than that.
Deputy director of the museum, Jessica May, added that the objective of the exhibit is to show how successful he was as an illustrator and offer a sense of his ambition. May and Podmaniczky co-curated the exhibit.
Such special exhibits can be advertised throughout the community using poster printing services.
The gallery is laid out to show the several periods of his work. There is one for the period when he traveled to the western part of the United States to learn the landscapes and culture. Another gallery shows his most well-known book illustrations, while there are several galleries with landscapes of Maine where he had a summer home, along with several self-portraits.
The exhibit runs through September 15.
