We Hope You'll Join Us

Limited Tickets Remain

The Brandywine River Museum of Art would like to invite you to attend Andrew Wyeth's Pennsylvania Portraits, a fascinating conversation on the artist's approach to portraiture this Wednesday, August 16 at 6 p.m. The discussion is presented by Audrey Lewis, curator at the Brandywine River Museum of Art, and Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw, associate professor of American Art at the University of Pennsylvania, as a part of our exhibition Andrew Wyeth: In Retrospect.

Lewis will focus on local subjects including Karl and Anna Kuerner and Helga Testorf. Shaw will consider Wyeth's relationships with models from Chadds Ford's African-American community. Tickets are limited and going quickly for this in-depth look at the work of Andrew Wyeth who celebrated both Chadds Ford and its residents throughout his decades-long career.

The Museum will open at 5:30 p.m., with a reception after the lecture.

Andrew Wyeth: In Retrospect is an exhibition of over one hundred of the artist's finest paintings and works on paper selected from major museums and private collections. The exhibition brings together both well-known and rarely seen works created between the mid-1930s and Wyeth's death in 2009 that reveal the subjects that continually inspired Wyeth and the evolution of his imagery. This once in a lifetime exhibition will close on September 17, 2017 and is not one to miss!
