    Description

    Andrew Newell Wyeth (American, 1917-2009)
    Hill Orchard, 1980
    Watercolor on paper
    19 x 26-3/8 inches (48.3 x 67.0 cm) (sheet)
    Signed lower right: Andrew Wyeth

    PROVENANCE:
    Private collection, Metairie, Louisiana, 1981;
    Private collection;
    Private collection, Washington D.C., acquired circa 2006.

    EXHIBITED:
    Galerie Claude Bernard, Paris, "Andrew Wyeth: Temperas, Aquarelles, Drybrush, Dessins," December 2, 1980-January 31, 1981.

    LITERATURE:
    Galerie Claude Bernard, Andrew Wyeth: Temperas, Aquarelles, Drybrush, Dessins, exhibition catalogue, Paris, 1980, n.p., illustrated;
    Portfolio, "Andrew Wyeth: Temperas, Aquarelles, Drybrush, Dessins" (exhibition advertisement), Paris, January 1981, p. 14, illustrated;
    M. Sokolov, (title unknown), Business World, October 19, 1991, illustrated.

    The watercolor depicts N.C. Wyeth's orchard after a snowfall, Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania.

    "I feel freer in surroundings that I don't have to be conscious of. I'll say that I love the object, or I love the hill. But that hill sets me free. I could wander over countless hills. But this one hill becomes thousands of hills to me. In finding this one object, I find a world. I think a great painting is a painting that funnels itself in and then funnels out, spreads out. I enter in a very focused way and then I go through it and way beyond it. A painting has to come naturally, freely, organically in a sense, through the back door."
    -Andrew Wyeth
