Robert Kennedy said the painting made him think of the way his brother had looked during the Bay of Pigs invasion. During the 1974 Watergate trials and congressional hearings, Wyeth was present as a commissioned artist for Harper's Magazine, recording events as they unfolded. Continuing through September 3, the innocence and deceit, promise and disappointment faced in the 20th century come alive in the vibrant art of two generations of Wyeths. Accompanying the exhibition is a book featuring 65 color plates and 41 back and white plates by these two artists, some never before reproduced. Group rates are available with advance reservations.
Promotional photography is available upon request.
