She had Polio.

He is often touted as the most over-rated and most under-rated painter of all time.

Very sad to see him go. . . he was an amazing artist.

Wyeth was indeed an extraordinary artist, certain critics' comments to the contrary notwithstanding.

Although saddened by his passing, I am grateful for his long life and considerable gifts which will continue to enrich us all.

One of my favorites as well. I live in the Brandywine valley where Wyeth's family grew up and lived. My father William Aspinall painted with Andrew's father N.C. before he and his grandson were hit & killed by a train. He will be missed by a great many people. If you ever get to Chadds Ford PA do go to the Brandywine River Museum.
