Andrew Newell Wyeth  July 12, 1917 – January 16, 2009) was a visual artist, primarily a realist  painter, working predominantly in a regionalist  style. He was one of the best-known U.S. artists of the middle 20th century. In his art, Wyeth's favorite subjects were the land and people around him, both in his hometown of Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania , and at his summer home in Cushing, Maine . One of the best-known images in 20th-century American art is his painting, Christina's World , currently in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art  in New York City .

Andrew Wyeth was the youngest of the five children of illustrator and artist N.C. (Newell Convers) Wyeth  and his wife, Carolyn Bockius Wyeth. He was born July 12, 1917 on Henry Thoreau's 100th birthday. Due to N.C.'s fond appreciation of Henry Thoreau , he found this both coincidental and exciting. N.C. was an attentive father, fostering each of the children's interests and talents. The family was close, spending time reading together, taking walks, fostering "a closeness with nature" and developing a feeling for Wyeth family history.[2]

Andrew was home-tutored because of his frail health. Like his father, the young Wyeth read and appreciated the poetry of Robert Frost  and writings ofHenry Thoreau  and studied their relationships with nature. Music and movies also heightened his artistic sensitivity.[3]  One major influence, discussed at length by Wyeth himself was King Vidor 's The Big Parade .[4] [5]  He claims to have seen the film which depicted family dynamics similar to his own, "a hundred-and-eighty-times" and believes it had the greatest influence on his work. The film's director Vidor later made a documentary, Metaphor  where he and Wyeth discuss the influence of the film on his paintings, including Winter 1946 , Snow Flurries , Portrait of Ralph Kline  and Afternoon Flight of a Boy up a Tree.
