A Virtual Tour with the Curator of Jamie Wyeth: Unsettled

Join Brandywine Museum of Art Senior Curator Amanda C. Burdan, Ph.D., for an online journey through this fascinating exhibition, which traces a persistent vein of intriguing, often disconcerting imagery over the career of renowned artist Jamie Wyeth. Whether introducing curious characters, revealing events from a dream or surveying strange landscapes, Wyeth is at home with uneasy subjects and a master of the unsettled mood. Burdan will discuss Wyeth’s use of arresting imagery in his visual storytelling and share the process of creating this unusual exhibition, on view through June 9, 2024.

This immediately brought the American painter Edwin Dickinson to mind.

I did see this exhibition and thoroughly enjoyed it. Many of his paintings capture rural life in the 1960s and 70s. Uprooted trees allow sunlight into the forest and decay enriching the soil. When livestock dies they too are returned to the earth. Our climate can be harsh and frightening however life goes on. There is nothing more dangerous than a buzz saw, but it was once the best way to rapidly produce firewood. I suppose that what is really unsettling is that our society has lost touch of the lives of our parents and grandparents. But of course this is merely my humble interpretation. Gotta find the artist's, and Kyle's, sense of humor in "The Cat Museum. Thank you for this exhibition.
