This week we lost Andrew Wyeth (1917 - 2009), noted abstract expressionist painter. A formidable artistic source, his work was comparable to some of the most avant garde work of the last century. For example, contrast this painting by Wyeth.with this image by famed abstract expressionist Robert Motherwell : Or, compare the shimmering effect of this painting by Wyeth.with this very similar painting by radical artist Jean Dubuffet : Here, a painting by Wyeth.might be compared with this work by fam
