Does anyone like Henrietta Wyeths paintings?
I have Death of a Child (the original was purchased by her brother Andrew. I have Black Iris (one of my Favorites) which in in a private collection.I own Silk Scarf which hangs in an Iowa Museum and Flowers from the Orchard which is a signed poster from One of her Brandywine Shows. I have had many a conversation with the Museum in New Mexico,and her son Michael has given me the background info on her paintings of Truman’s apple and Green Apple and Purple shell. I can email the story to you if you like too long for this forum I live Near the Brandywine Museum and it is lovely.So nice to talk with someone who appreciates her work. So many people don’t know her.
Hi Jamie! I enjoyed reading all the information you had on Henrietta Wyeth. It was through Michael and his friend who worked at a bank in Abilene, Texas, where I had the opportunity of see a Peter Hurd Exhibition(that’s Henrietta’s husband. I’m sure you know that!). Anyway, his paintings were way beyond my budget, but I did buy one of hers. I have a beautiful sunflower. I didn’t find any of the titles in my book. My book’s name is “The Artifice of Henriette Wyeth: Blue Light”. I was much intrigued by the whole family so I bought “Wonderous Strange: The Wyeth Tradition”. That family has art history! I don’t have a mail box yet, but when I get one, I’ll send it to you.
