Great little article on Andrew Wyeth and this incredible Bruce Weber portrait. Wow.
The Year in Pictures: Andrew Wyeth: "When Andrew Wyeth died last month, his work had slipped so far off the radar it was something of a surprise to find that he had lived that long. Nevertheless, Wyeth was both a popular and a great painter – two characteristics that do not always co-exist easily.
Throughout his career, Wyeth and the American modernist movement tried and failed to find common ground. The Museum of Modern Art even bought 'Christina's World' in 1949, but Wyeth continued to be derided by the art establishment. I am sure time will now correct that situation."
