(also, a recommended book)
PBS’s new documentary, American Masters: Wyeth, is the most comprehensive overview ever of Andrew Wyeth, the great American artist, his life and career. He is, of course, best known for “Christina’s World” and the Helga pictures.
A highly recommended, memorable, well-made documentary about a man who who overcame criticism by going his own way, by maintaining a secret life in Maine, and by rejuvenating his career late in life. Especially recommended for fans of self-made great men and unique nature painting. If you like twentieth century art, you need to know about Andrew Wyeth.
