Home is Where the Heart Is • For no artist was that adage more true than for Andrew Wyeth. Over the course of more than seven decades he executed thousands upon thousands of drawings, watercolors, temperas, and oils depicting the landscape, buildings, and people around Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, where he lived his entire life, and of Port Clyde, Maine, where he and his family summered for many years. His love for the Chadds Ford area is the focus of Andrew Wyeth: Home Places, the inaugural exhibition mounted by the Wyeth Foundation for American Art and on view at the Brandywine Museum of Art to July 13. We spoke to William L. Coleman, the newly appointed curator of the foundation and director of the new Wyeth Study Center.
