Dans la vie de Andrew Wyeth
La vie entière1939
Meets Betsy James
In 1939 in Maine Wyeth met Betsy James, whom he married on 15 May 1940; she introduced him to Christina Olson, managed his career and influenced him so strongly that N. C. Wyeth came to resent her. “I am a director and I had the greatest actor in the world,” Betsy once said.
1943
Birth of his son Nicholas
In 1943 the Wyeths' first son, Nicholas, was born; Andrew later painted portraits of both his sons.
1944
His father's letter on the artist's freedom
In a letter of 1944 N. C. Wyeth counselled his son that the great men — Thoreau, Goethe, Emerson, Tolstoy — understood that the consequences of what one creates are unimportant, and that “anyone who creates for effect — to score a hit — does not know what he is missing”.
October 1945
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.
