The Kuerner farm, his subject for 30 years
His Chadds Ford neighbours Anna and Karl Kuerner and their farm were among Wyeth's chief subjects for nearly 30 years: “I didn't think it a picturesque place. It just excited me, purely abstractly and purely emotionally.” In “Brown Swiss” (1957), named after Karl's cows, there are no cows — only their tracks in the grass.
1960s
Turning to portraiture
In the 1960s Wyeth began to paint portraits: his friend Tom Clark (“Garret Room”, 1962), his neighbour Adam Johnson (“Adam”, 1963), his sister Carolyn (“Up in the Studio”, 1965).
