This retrospective has been organized for the 100th anniversary of the artist’s birth, the exhibition shows more than 100 paintings and drawings from the late 1930s to 2008.
In a chronological order, you will be able to see Wyeth’s art from watercolors, to works in a variety of media of the people and places of his life.
In Retrospect runs through Jan. 15, 2018, at Seattle Art Museum.
Modern ink paintings with a great sense of humor
Chinese painting exhibit? Yes, but this one is a really modern and funny one. It’s a small show that occupies one only room in the Seattle Asian Art Museum.
My favorites:
Rights infringements: “Every now and then one hears of so called famous people filling out lawsuits against infringements on their image rights. Now that electronic mice are everywhere do the mice ladies and gentlemen have any plans?”
Celebrities of peace: “The white pigeon muses that, since the world is still an unsafe place in the 21st century, it will continue to be employed. The grey pigeon thinks no matter what I cannot contract the bird flu.”
In a completely different style: you should not miss “WISHES FOR LONGEVITY”, a wonderful 5-panel work.
