Wyeth was an american painter, primarily a realist painter, working predominantly in a Regionalist Style.
He was one of the best-known U.S. artists of the middle 20th century.born in the small rural Pennsylvania town of Chadds Ford.
He was home schooled in many subjects, including art education. Known to shun traditional oils, Wyeth instead opted to work with watercolors, drybrush, a technique where watercolors are used but water is squeezed or otherwise removed from the brush, and egg tempera (a medium where egg yolks are used as a binding agent and mixed with pigment to make paint).
Perhaps Andrew Wyeth is famous not so much for the type of painter he was, but more the painter he wasn't, as his subjects and style also varied drastically from many of the abstract oil painters from that period.
