Marval Movie

 Dad and I enjoyed our jaunt to the Brandywine River Museum of Art in Chadd's Ford, PA.
The Wyeths had homes and studios here and in Maine.  The special exhibit this visit was on N.C. Wyeth. He was known first for his illustrations - the artwork for Treasure Island and Kidnapped are gorgeous pieces of work. He did lots of covers for magazines like Outdoor, Saturday Evening Post, and more.  More than that he wanted to be taken seriously as an artist. The collection of over seventy pieces demonstrated his wide ranging skills as a landscape artist also.  Sadly he died too young - hit by a train less than a mile from his home.
 I am a big fan of Andrew Wyeth - NC's son.  He's famous for Christina's World.  Here's a postcard of one that stuck me - Spring Fed 1967.
 Here's a postcard of the Brandywine in winter.
And some cool detail on the building.

Nifty little museum tucked in the woods of PA.
