“I’m really an abstract painter. They just don’t get it.”
— Andrew Wyeth
“Though Wyeth is widely considered a realist painter, in fact, he distilled structure to make a point about light and shadow, angle and design. Taking reality as a point of departure, my fiction distills events, settings, and characters to tell a story.”
— Anna Marsh
