Another Chadds Ford Gem

Last week we visited the N.C. Wyeth House and Studio. The nearby Andrew Wyeth Studio can also be visited via a tour from Brandywine Museum of Art. The site is described on brandywine.org as:

Andrew Wyeth, one of America’s best-known twentieth-century artists, painted many of his most important works of art in his Chadds Ford studio. Given to the Brandywine Museum of Art by the artist’s wife, Betsy James Wyeth, the studio provides visitors with a unique opportunity to experience this very personal space…. This studio, a repurposed schoolhouse originally built in 1875, served as the artist’s principal Pennsylvania workplace from 1940 to 2008. Thousands of paintings and drawings were created there, inspired by the people, architecture and landscapes of Chadds Ford. The studio still houses the furnishings, library and collections acquired by the artist, as well as examples of the art materials he used throughout his career.

This sign says it all.

A library with films and …
some interesting dioramas.
The German military uniform worn by Karl Kuerner is several of Wyeth’s works.
Jamie Wyeth used this room as a studio.

Because I really liked the shape of this tree branch.

The site is only available on limited dates and times, so please check with the Brandywine Museum of Art for more details.
