Andrew Wyeth
worked primarily in watercolors and he utilized his vivid memory
and vigorous imagination in his work to move them from strikingly
realistic to often surrealistic. Typically, he would both begin
and end a paining outdoors. His blatant disregard for his watercolor
paintings are apparent based upon viewing the creases and torn
edges found on some of them.
In 1964, he was paid $64,000 for a paiting entitled 'Her Room.'
It was the most ever paid by a gallery to a living artist at the
time. He was also the first living artist to ever be displayed
at most galleries in the United States. Wyeth still paints to
this day.
