American Painter Andrew Wyeth Dies at 91 - washingtonpost.com: "Andrew Wyeth, the popular American painter of rustic landscapes, farmhouses and plain country folk whose pictures evoked a range of feelings and emotions and a nostalgic vision of times past, died at home early Jan. 16 at age 91. No cause of death was reported, according to the Associated Press.
Mr. Wyeth sketched, painted and drew the people and places of Pennsylvania's Brandywine River Valley and the rugged Maine coastal region near Cushing, where he had lived all his life. He died at his home in the Philadelphia suburb of Chadds Ford, according to Hillary Holland, a spokeswoman for the Brandywine River Museum, the AP reported."

I'm glad to see he had a long life. I have a print of his Christina's World. Wonderful artist.
That's a lovely museum in Chadds Ford. If you're ever in the neighborhood, it's well worth seeing three generations of Wyeths.
A strange coincidence, but the NY Times reported a few days ago on the death of the man who bought up all of the "Helga" paintings by Wyeth.
