Andrew Wyeth | The Helga Pictures
Cover featuring Braids (Tempera)
After picking up Andrew Wyeth | The Helga Pictures, I had to share some visual and literal highlights. First, here’s a little back story..
“The Helga Pictures” are a fantastic compilation of tempera and dry brush paintings, watercolours and pencil studies secretly created within a span of over fifteen years. Andrew Wyeth created over two hundred and forty individual works of neighbour Helga Testorf from 1971 to 1985 without telling a single person, including his wife. He stated that he would not have been able to have finished the project with everyone looking at it.
