Conversation with, about Wyeth

Wyeth Illustrations from the Brandywine River Museum” on display at the museum’s Wyeth Center through Dec. 29.

Farnsworth Chief Curator Michael K. Komanecky will talk with Jamie Wyeth about his thoughts on his grandfather N.C. Wyeth, as an illustrator and painter; the challenge of doing book illustrations, which Jamie also has done; and the influence N.C. has had on his own work.
