"Andrew Newell Wyeth" was a visual artist, primarily a Realism (visual arts)/realist painter, working predominantly in a Regionalism (art)/regionalist style. He was one of the best-known U.S. artists of the middle 20th century.
In his art, Wyeth's favorite subjects were the land and people around him, both in his hometown of Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and at his summer home in Cushing, Maine. Wyeth often noted: "I paint my life."
