On January 27, the Brandywine River Museum of Art will unveil the first comprehensive exhibition of George A. "Frolic" Weymouth's artistic career, examining his contribution to American painting. Weymouth (1936-2016) was perhaps best known for his philanthropic endeavors, in particular as one of the founders and long-time chairman of the Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art. He was also a remarkable artist.

On view through June 3, 2018, The Way Back: The Paintings of George A. Weymouth will feature sixty-five of Weymouth's best works chosen by guest curator Joseph J. Rishel. The exhibition will include a number of pencil and watercolor studies Weymouth did in preparation for his tempera paintings. These rarely seen works will provide a rich understanding of Weymouth's keen eye and his artistic process.

We hope you'll join us for opening weekend of this extraordinary exhibition.
