The Wyeths - Paintings from the Estate of Frank E. Fowler

Page 1


As both a passionate life-long collector and art dealer, Frank E. Fowler was uniquely positioned to acquire some of the finest works by the Wyeth family. His intimate understanding of the Wyeth family’s evolution allowed him to handpick pieces that represented not only N.C., Andrew, and Jamie Wyeth’s exceptional talent but also the enduring value of their contribution to art history. This exhibition offers a rare glimpse into some of the works meticulously assembled by someone who knew the power and legacy of art from both a personal and professional perspective.

Notes:

The artist's Rocky Hill studio was completed in Chadds Ford in 1911, according to blueprints and specifications drawn up by Wilmington architect William Draper Brickle. The studio was built in conjunction with the house, on the crest of the hill overlooking the homestead. The workman forged a rough footpath between the house and studio, which Wyeth formalized by installing wooden planks to mark the path along with an alleé of shrubs. The privet hedge and vines around the studio door shown in the painting indicate that the view was painted later in one of the following summers.

This painting and several archival photographs owned by the Wyeth family document the appearance of the studio with its original east wing, the so-called "glasshouse," where Wyeth would pose his models. The glasshouse was demolished in 1923 when the mural studio was constructed on the site. As originally built, the studio had a foyer to the west and the glasshouse to the east, both flanking the central workroom, which is dominated by the iconic north-facing Palladian-style window. This window gave not only good, consistent north light but an expansive view of the entire valley, which was a huge source of inspiration for his paintings.

Notes:

"The lights of my car suddenly hit this building, and I simply had to paint the almost mystical image. I liked this brooding tree and the suddenness of the light hitting the building. This one is not the 'decisive moment.' I was stuck by the image and came back to the studio and did it there. I'd made some watercolors of the house in the late afternoon with the sun and shadows. Then I thought, That's crap, sun-and-shadows stuff, and so I thought, There’s something more in this." from Connoisseur magazine, December 1990

Notes:

Watercolor painting in preparation for one of Wyeth’s final tempera paintings, Goose Stepping

“To me, pencil drawing is a very emotional, very quick, very abrupt medium. . . . I will perhaps put in a terrific black and press down on the pencil so strongly that perhaps the lead will break, in order to emphasize my emotional impact with the object. . . . Sometimes my hand, almost my fingertips, begin to shiver and this affects the quality of the lead pencil on the paper. It becomes dark and light, dark and light. The thing begins to move. The drawing begins to pull itself out of the blank piece of paper. You can’t concoct that.”
