• The Brandywine River Museum of Art continues its exhibit, Abstract Flash: Unseen Andrew Wyeth, through Feb. 18. The exhibit is a body of abstract watercolors from the Andrew & Betsy Wyeth Collection that have never previously been exhibited and will take their place on the walls of the renovated Andrew Wyeth Gallery alongside archival materials that document his encounters with abstract expressionism and geometric abstraction. This body of work presents a collective portrait of an artist who was open to new ideas others found challenging and for whom abstraction was a legitimate and vital direction alongside the realism for which he is better known.
