Andrew Wyeth’s most famous painting, the iconic "Christina’s World", will be on view at the Museum for the celebration. On loan from the Museum of Modern Art in New York, this is the first time the painting has been on view in the region. It is rarely seen outside New York City. The Brandywine River Museum currently displays 38 other paintings and watercolors by the artist. “Andrew Wyeth once told an interviewer that “Painting has been my one interest, nothing else but art,” recalled Jim Duff, Director of the Brandywine River Museum. “The finest way to honor him is to enjoy the art he created.” The documentary film, Self Portrait: Snow Hill, produced by Betsy James Wyeth and narrated by Stacy Keach, will be shown in the Museum’s Lecture Room every hour on the hour starting at 10 a.m. Incorporating many of Andrew Wyeth’s works of art along with family photographs, home movies, personal letters and footage of Andrew Wyeth, this moving program provides insight into his private world. In addition, memory books in which visitors can leave their thoughts will be located in the museum.
