Wyeth's Wisdom

" Nick & Jamie " Water Colour on paper
Andrew Wyeth was a Magic Realist. Wyeth is a master of the dry brush and egg tempera techniques which allowed him to achieve great detail in his work. Certainly the strong feeling of nostalgia and rural isolation that emanates from his work helps bring a mysterious quality to his paintings. This is combined with many unusual viewpoints, including sharp focus in both the foreground and background, as well as the sharp detail in his work verifies his standing as a great master of Magic Realism .
" I think one's art goes only as far and deep as your love goes" Wyeth's wisdom.
