In making his 1981 tempera Dr. Syn, Andrew Wyeth employed his long-standing working method of making study after study as part of determining what his finished painting was to be. In Dr. Syn, in the collection of Andrew and Betsy Wyeth, the artist created many drawings and watercolors devoted to determining the details of the figure, the space in which he resides, the artifacts in the space, as well as what the final composition would be. The exhibitions examines the artist’s fastidious working process, and includes the very costume depicted in the painting.
The Farnsworth Art Museum presents Andrew Wyeth at 100, a series of exhibitions marking the centennial of Andrew Wyeth’s birth. The five shows include over 100 of the artist’s works and will be on display throughout the museum’s Wyeth Center, as well as its Hadlock and Wyeth Study Center galleries.
