Andrew Wyeth</a>: 1982 encapsulates the life and work of the renowned artist during a pivotal year in his artistic career. In this year in which the artist turned sixty-five and entered what might be considered his late period, he embraced new subjects and turned away from prior inspirations, confronted the imminent loss of lifelong friend and model Walt Anderson in a major tempera, Adrift, and dealt with the ups and downs of popular success, including a significant theft of his artworks.</p><p>The exhibition showcases rarely-seen works and reveals new insights into his enduring creativity during a volatile period. Andrew Wyeth: 1982 invites viewers to reflect on the cultural and personal contexts that shaped the artist’s practice during this specific year through art and archival materials.

Farnsworth Art Museum

Rockland | Maine | USA

The Farnsworth Art Museum offers a nationally recognized collection of American art in its elegantly appointed galleries. Such great names in 18th- and 19th-century American art history as Gilbert Stuart, Thomas Sully, Thomas Eakins, Eastman Johnson, Fitz Henry Lane, Frank Benson, Childe Hassam, and Maurice Prendergast are represented in the museum's permanent collection entitled Maine in America. The museum also houses the nation's second-largest collection of works by premier 20th-century sculptor Louise Nevelson and has opened four new galleries to showcase contemporary art. Its Wyeth Center exclusively features works of Andrew, N.C. and Jamie Wyeth--America's first family of art. The Farnsworth's library is also housed in its Rockland, ME, campus.
