Exploring Wyeth Country

The Brandywine Valley west of Philadelphia is home to an extraordinary tradition of art, as explored in Barksdale Maynard's new book, 'Artists of Wyeth Country: Howard Pyle, N.C. Wyeth, and Andrew Wyeth.' Discuss this rich artistic heritage and point to the many cultural institutions in the Brandywine Valley that keep this art tradition alive. Special attention will be given to the life of Andrew Wyeth, who painted along the Brandywine from the 1930s to the 2000s and established himself as one of America's most beloved, if controversial, painters.
