Andrew Wyeth

  “I search for the realness, the real feeling of a subject, all the texture around it…I always want to see the third dimension of something…I want to come alive with the object.”

Andrew Wyeth

Camille Pissaro

Claude Monet,

"The Magpie"

1869  

 “This painting of a place in the countryside near Etretat, executed on the spot, uses very unusual pale, luminous colours.  The novelty and daring of Monet's approach explain the painting's rejection by the jury of the 1869 salon.”

“Christina's Teapot”  

 Andrew Wyeth

“I can’t work completely out of my imagination. I must put my foot in a bit of truth and then I can fly free."

~ Andrew Wyeth



"Oranges"
Dan McCaw

 

“Objects don't give you an emotion; you already contain that emotion.   An object just brings the emotion out. Art is the same way. It provides a reason for that thought, that mood, that feeling that exists within you to surface. It connects and awakens what part of us that we already possess."

 ~ Dan McCaw

Groundhog Day

Andrew Wyeth

1959

"That February day the sun’s rays caught the corner of the table that was set for dinner, awaiting the return of Mr. Keurner from a farm sale in Lancaster.”

~Andrew Wyeth
