Wyeth

I've come across TWO mentions of the Wyeth family in the national press in the past few days.
1. As part of a "Wall Street Journal" story about notable attractions in the Philadelphia area, novelist Lisa Scottoline recommends a visit to the Brandywine River Museum: "Right outside the city, this museum is our temple to the Wyeth family. You see the work in the settings where they were painted." (She also suggests visiting the 9th Street Italian Market and two Philadelphia bakeries: Isgro Pasticceria and Termini Brothers.)
2. In the May/June issue of "The Magazine Antiques," there's an article by Yale art professor Alexander Nemerov about Andrew Wyeth's 1944 painting "Night Hauling," "showing a lone man on the ocean at night, furtively stealing from a lobster trap amid twinklings and gleaming pours of phosphorescence." Analyzing the wartime painting by reference to sources as varied as natural history, Jackson Pollock, Winslow Homer, Virginia Woolf,  and the movie "I Walked with a Zombie," Professor Nemerov concludes: "The war years enter Wyeth's art and he consents to be bent by them, letting the strangeness come precisely from this willingness to paint the old dreams in a world where there are none."
