Andrew Newell Wyeth (1917-2009) Offset Lithograph on cream wove paper, titled "Storing Up" printed in 1963, piece measures 13.25 x 17 inches, signed lower left, initialed in plate with wide margins, Fine impression, From the Collection of Mrs. Wyeth. Storing Up by Andrew Wyeths from The Four Seasons Portfolio, Suite of 12 . This is a Limited Edition Lithograph 1961 Unnumbered Edition of 1000. This portfolio was created from his dry brush paintings and drawings that were selected by Andrew and Betsy Wyeth from works in the house and studio at Chadds Ford, supplemented by some owned by friends. With a few exceptions, they had never been exhibited or reproduced. The plates were made directly from the originals and published by Art in America. A painter of landscape and figure subjects in Pennsylvania and Maine, Andrew Wyeth became one of the best-known American painters of the 20th century. His style is both realistic and abstract, and he works primarily in tempera and watercolor, often using the drybrush technique. He is the son of Newell Convers and Carolyn Bockius Wyeth of Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and was home-schooled because of delicate health. His art instruction came from his famous-illustrator father, who preached the tying of painting to life--to mood and to essences and to capturing the subtleties of changing light and shadows. The Wyeth household was a lively place with much intellectual and social stimulation. Because of the prominence of N.C. Wyeth, persons including many dignitaries came from all over the country to visit the family. Andrew's sisters Carolyn and Henriette became noted artists as did his brother-in-law, Peter Hurd.
