Yesterday my pal Joe and I went to the Museum of Fine Arts to take in the Jamie Wyeth show. Jesus, he’s my fav of the whole Wyeth famiglia and maybe one of the most squeee inducing painters for yurs truly. He's def in the top five — oh yeah.
By happy chance, Jen and I caught the Wyeth Vertigo show up at the Shelburne in northern Vermont last fall. I’d, previously, only seen Jamie’s work in books. Brill as the repros were, they just didn’t, couldn’t possibly, do justice to his incredible brushwork, color and wickedly masterful recreation of light.
Here are just a few of the swoon inducing pieces (with links to better images found on line) :
And a few of his Seven Deadly Sins as acted out by seagulls.
