Andrew Wyeth

[@user-ru9xy7zv8i]

Andrew Wyeth was my great uncle. I feel so completely blessed to have had such a remarkable person (and family) in my life.

[@TurkiyeCumhurbaskani]

HE was my father

[@jeffreystevens1585]

jennifer seeley he drew pictures of my family in Chadds Ford, PA my grandfather and him were good friends. When my grandfather died he attended the funeral and gave my mother an original painting signed by him called the Painted Post. He also drew paintings of my late Uncle Mutt, my cousin Anthony Winfield, the old house in Chadds Ford with the Pitbull and my late cousin Sarah

[@jeffreystevens1585]

jennifer seeley meant to say my late cousin Michelle Anderson not Sarah

[@michaelwhite8031]

I wish l could have met him.

[@Jiambo]

I've met Andrew twice and chatted briefly. I met his son Jaime once at the Marshall point oyster farm. I've spent quite a few times with Phyllis (Jaime's wife) had lunch at her house etc. She was going to put me in art school at no cost to myself but after taking a tour I was just way to shy to be there. I was 13 then, and they were all adults. Huge regret.

[@rowancrew2934]

A wonderful painter and a man that understands the true value of truth,honesty and integrity in a painting.

[@crietman29]

My favorite artist. I miss him.

[@barnacles62]

I went to Washington and seen his painting "Wind From The Sea". I sat there for I know two hours, I thought the curtains were moving. He is in my Top 5 favorite artists.

[@jenhasken]

The most extraordinary American painter. Great skill plus a mystical quality in his paintings.

[@pleinaire8698]

YES mystical!!!!!!!!!!

"You ought to believe in what you do" ~ Andrew Wyeth. On point!

[@bernardkane3442]

Artist genius

[@jeffreystevens1585]

He drew paintings of my family in Chadds Ford,Pa. My mother has an original painting signed by him called the Painted Post wich is of my late grandfather Othaniel Winfield. He also drew paintings of my Uncle Mutt,my cousin Anthony Winfield, my late cousin Sarah and the old house in Chadds Ford with the Pitbull. We are of African American descent and that's special. My grandfathered and him were good friends. He gave my mother that painting at my grandfather's funeral.

[@jeffreystevens1585]

Meant to say my late cousin Michelle

[@rembeadgc]

Thanks for sharing your connection to an artist that I admire a lot. I was moved by how he painted people of African descent. Not only because they're African Americans but because he didn't, IMO, romanticize them. He painted everybody as they were, which to me, recognizes the real beauty, dignity and grace they have as human beings without needing anything to be added. All they needed was light to illuminate them and an eye to behold them.

[@joycee5493]

What an outstanding interview. He is so open and direct. It is probably why I love his work so much.

[@julieann287]

One of my very favorite things in the world is to watch this video! It is just that good!

[@josephobenauer3093]

What a great face! What a great artist.

[@joycee5493]

I love his subdued lack of color. He is and will always be my favorite painter. In 1965 I was five years old and on the wall of my elementary school hallway was a print of Christina’s World. The print was part of my life for six years at that school. I will never forget it.When I look at his paintings I feel like I just stop dead in my tracks and I become completely mesmerized by them. I want to be in those places, feel the air that he felt and see the light that he saw.

[@pleinaire8698]

Yes.! I discovered Andrew Wyeth in the late 1960s as an art student at the chicago Art Institue..Everyone was doing abstracts and I loved his less color storytelling approach to realism!! He still inspires my pleinair landscape oil paintings. I call them my Andrew Wyeth genre.!!! THANK YOU ANDREW and family.!! RIP

[@stacy5451]

I also saw Christina’s World everyday in my dining room. My mother had the print hanging there throughout my childhood. I always imagined her being so beautiful. Andrew saw her that way I believe. No matter the paintings I saw of her later as an adult I will always see her as beautiful.

[@salomesandroshvili5364]

What a description..

[@grumpysorc3744]

The greatest master of 20th century.

[@marshallross3373]

"You gotta believe in what you do." No truer words ever spoken.

[@Gregforeli]

I need Andrew as my conscious. I love it.

[@jurgenczwienk1960]

A lucky man who lived his desire for art. Fantastic!

[@cirovallone889]

Ha riproposto ai massimi livelli una tecnica antica e bellissima come la Tempera. Master

[@timothy8017]

I watched this when it originally aired. Wonder why this made such an impression? That I remember.

[@maggiethecat1538]

WONDERFUL interview..! 💖

[@4747bbjd]

This is a wonderful interview!

[@stacy5451]

What an amazing man. DON’T PUSSYFOOT AROUND IN LIFE! Do it!! Live it!! Such an inspiration

[@peterstevens3913]

Wonderful remarks by the artist.

[@oscarfairley4779]

The one public figure I miss most of all. I miss hearing his voice I miss seeing a painting I don't know for the first time. I saw my first Wyeth painting when I was a little boy. Don't care what anyone else says or think The Greastest American Artist who has ever live Andrew Wyeth.

[@ELKFILMZ]

Great interview, thanks for the upload.

[@beardedman1236]

the best part of cbs sunday morning is........every story becomes a great story if you watch until the end.......I, already, miss Charles Osgood.

[@lonemapper]

I miss him too. The show is not the same without him.

[@teeniebeenie8774]

o how i miss this show and mr osgood gr8 stuff.

[@ozzie-sk9dh]

His face is like a painting on its own

[@99thehighstreet69]

Yes the hair is like tempera😀

[@drewcamero1489]

'on its own'. What a telling choice of words.

[@charleswebster2682]

Open and frank Great art great man.

[@delmusingle2338]

I admired this artist's works as a kid. .... I believe the human body of both genders are the most beautiful and challenging to draw, especially in action. Bur I refrain from much due to society's assumptions today. I do draw portraits, however. ... See the photos area on my facebook page for samples of my work. I am now 68. I had not drawn much over the years until I retired as a biomedical tech.

[@empathicstudio2066]

Thank you for uploading.

[@anodyne57]

He couldn't have been more different than his father, as an artist. His father was basically a painter-illustrator. And a very evocative one at that, but an artist chained to depicting narratives, stories, and the characters associated with them. Andrew Wyeth was a painter, period. And a very modern one, concerned with translating what the world literally looks like into a semblance made with the materials of the painter. You feel his work in your bones and your flesh. It is about sensory perception as much as anything. NC Wyeth's work appeals to the rational mind first and foremost.

[@spitfire4sergi]

It’s so odd hearing a famous artist who was actually recognized as a master while alive sound so… normal? Maybe it’s just me but I think he’d be happy just talking to strangers in a diner than art.

[@annettecornish3632]

Master Bedroom, my favorite

[@geospectrum]

I was bowled over when I saw Christina’s World in the MoMA. I now want to see and learn more what a fascinating man.

[@emmarose4234]

One of Snoopy’s favorites! By the way, please let me know if I’m wrong, but I believe Mr. Wyeth was the last living Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient from the Kennedy administration.

[@trevorpanno5371]

Hard to believe that last July would have been Andrew Wyeth’s 100th birthday.

[@rezred]

Great painter.

[@m.oldani]

This guy is definitely an adult.

[@chaswyeth]

Woah another Wyeth! He's an artist just like me!

[@leskvin80]

A great little man for a great little art

[@oscarfairley4779]

leskvin80 Don't understand what you mean by your statement.

[@christianegonbarnthaler1426]

super art

[@bespecher]

5:10 Golden words

[@skoomamuch356]

wow Andrew Wyeth is also motivational speaker.. just do it!

[@davidholmes2283]

What an interesting man.

[@ganseblumchen8532]

He’s my great great uncle

[@shushimushi]

He's not my uncle:)) But I love his paintings

[@margopadon5025]

What’s the big deal about a visual artist using a nude study? He didn’t want his wife to know?! That would be like being a chef and wanting to keep your cooking utensils a secret from your spouse. The secrecy would draw more suspicion from me than the truth.

[@donarmstrong2182]

Ohh I know Ronnie, she never told me she was on CBS

[@roniquebreauxjordan1302]

...I guess when he said "stop beating around the bush" he meant what he said...

[@ByDesign333]

Was it his model, Helga, that remarked that art is the most selfish occupation there is in her opinion, or did i remember wrongly(?) Myself an artist, son of 2 illustrators.

[@diazcreative]

"You gotta bleed in what you do" -- I love that

[@legacyfineartimaging-james718]

Andrew Wyeth's work is stunningly beautiful. His nudes so captures the essential beauty of a person in a manner that should inspire one to realize and accept themselves as a unique and beautiful artistic work of art just waiting to be captured on canvas, displayed with pride and immortalized as so few have for present and future generations. I truly wish he would have painted more women of color. “ Some of the greatest works of art are nudes. They are still admired for their beauty, grace and elegance; sadly though, the subjects of the works do not reflect women of color. As a photographic artist, it is my mission to create works that are respectful, artistic and positive, especially of women of color. Here is an ethnic group that is rarely if ever on display at mainstream museums and galleries.” James L. Ingraham Legacy Fine Art Imaging [e-mail] www.legacyfineartimaging.com

[@jsmum196]

Ego. "I'll go up to any woman and ask her to take her clothes off." I painted Helga in secret. She posed in any position I wanted her to, clothed or not. The last person I wanted to know was my wife. A nude of a 17 yr. old girl. He thinks he can do no wrong. What a foolish man.

[@drewcamero1489]

Jsmum He was asked if he was shy and gave examples of why he was bold. But yes, he may have had more of his fathers bravado then he realized. Good for him, there is a good amount of bravery in bravado.

[@MareShoop]

And this affected you personally? Did his voting ruin your life? You have no argument here.

[@bodeaalex1142]

"I want to get to the truth of the thing" yet he voted Reagan and Nixon and today he might have voted Trump.

[@sbalman]

Why does that matter? This is the story of an artist.

[@Blue_Newt_01]

Lol... you don’t know this. I know many who voted for Reagan, Bush and W Bush but can’t stand trump.

[@grumpysorc3744]

He's the greatest American artist ever lived, and can vote for anyone. As a non American I'm glad he voted Republican candidates. There is no contradiction, Wyeth's art represents old school/some kind of conservatism, meaning and skill, in contrast to the "left" art, which is for the most part meaningless abstractions.
