Mixed media on paper; signed lower right, 1983. 23" x 29" Numerous gallery labels on reverse. Jamie Wyeth has established a national reputation as a painter of portraits, animals, and landscapes. Among a number of contemporary American artists who embrace the tenets of Realism, Wyeth has created a body of work that stands out for its distinctive subject matter and its remarkable technical expertise. In addition to his residence in Chadd's Ford, Pa, Wyeth has become closely linked to the artistic life of Monhegan Island, Maine; indeed, in 1968 Wyeth purchased the house built by the painter Rockwell Kent on Lobster Cove, going on to summer there regularly. Examples of Jamie Wyeth's work can be found in major public collections across the United States, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the National Portrait Gallery, Washington, D.C.; the Farnsworth Art Museum, Rockland, Maine; the Brandywine River Museum, Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania; the Joslyn Art Museum, Omaha, Nebraska; the Delaware Art Museum, Wilmington; and the Terra Museum of American Art, Chicago, among others.
