Father and nephew killed by a train
In October 1945 N. C. Wyeth and his three-year-old grandson Newell Convers Wyeth II were killed when their car stalled on the railway tracks near their home and was struck by a train. Andrew called his father's death a formative event in his art; soon afterwards his painting consolidated into its mature, enduring style.
