Jamie Wyeth (b. 1946)

Jamie Wyeth (b. 1946)

As a member of one of the foremost families of American painting, Jamie Wyeth lived and breathed fine art from his early childhood. Growing up in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, his primary art teachers were his aunt, Carolyn Wyeth, and his father, Andrew, although the influence of his grandfather, renowned illustrator N. C. Wyeth, can clearly be seen in Jamie’s work.

He was home-schooled after sixth grade and spent most of his time studying, sketching and painting, quickly developing his skills and his unique point of view. Like his father, Jamie emerged onto the art world at a very young age and was given his first museum retrospective in 1975 at the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, Nebraska, before he turned thirty. The following year he received national attention when Coe Kerr Gallery in New York exhibited portraits that he and Andy Warhol had made of each other. Museums and galleries across the country continually mount exhibitions of his work, and examples have been acquired by numerous important public and private collections.
