A Wyeth Century

The great American painter Andrew Wyeth died today at age 91. Both exalted and ridiculed by the snarky art world, Wyeth nonetheless prevailed as a defining figure in American art as a populous painter. It struck me at 2007’s the Basquiat-Warhol- Jamie Wyeth exhibit at the Brandywine River Museum in Chadds Ford that a lineage of American art is so connected to Andrew Wyeth’s work. It is impossible to resist looking at his work again, nomatter what else is showing.

script/politic

Without tv for a while I was blissfully ignorant that The Sarah Palin Show was still on until I was scanning CNN online and saw her interview with Wolf Blitzer. There she was again in her snarky doublespeak- She, of course, will work with Barack Obama but is still concerned about his association with William (the domestic terrorist who bombed the Pentagon when Obama was 8) Ayers. In fact his politically glancing acquaintance with Ayers has been completely examined and is tantamount to being at the same cocktail party with someone. The queen of innuendo can’t bury this bone though. Wolf, unfazed, at her veiled mudslinging tried to get her off script, but the woman is relentless. Course, she is never ready to answer the simple question “So he knew him, what are you saying exactly?”
