AN EVENING WITH VICTORIA WYETH
Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity in NRH to hear all about Andrew Wyeth, one of the greatest U.S. artists of the middle 20th century! Join us this Thursday, May 25 at 7 p.m. at the Grand Hall at NRH Centre, 6000 Hawk Avenue, North Richland Hills as Victoria Browning Wyeth offers a glimpse into the private life and works of her grandfather, iconic American painter, Andrew Wyeth.
Ms. Wyeth, a Harvard-trained psychiatrist, will speak from her home in Maine via an exclusive Zoom chat with the NRH Grand Hall audience. As Andrew Wyeth’s only grandchild, Ms. Wyeth offers a family perspective on the work of this beloved artist.
She will examine his art and technique, including masterpieces like Christina’s World, Master Bedroom and Wind from the Sea, while also sharing family stories, sketches and other seldom-seen works. She will answer audience questions after her talk.
The summer after Ms. Wyeth’s sophomore year in high school, she began working at the Farnsworth Art Museum, near her family’s summer home in Maine as a docent for their Andrew Wyeth Collection.
Before starting her first summer job, the young docent interviewed her grandfather at length about each of his works on view. When she couldn’t answer someone’s question during her tour, she’d visit the artist when she returned home to hear the correct answer. Unlike other speakers on the work of Andrew and Jamie Wyeth, Ms. Wyeth’s years of conversations with the artists about their work give her talks a unique perspective.
This is your opportunity to hear from a member of a great American art family, speaking directly to, and answering questions from you, here in North Richland Hills!
