Painting Style
When Andrew Wyeth painted he often began with a realistic approach, but in his passion to create, the artwork would take on an air of surrealism. Andrew Wyeth prints display technical brilliance along with an obvious affection for the subjects he chooses to paint. His inspiration for art was nurtured by his father Newell Convers Wyeth who was an artist with many of his own successes.

"The Helga Pictures," composed secretly over a fifteen year period reflect his dedication to the effects of light on the human body. He painted Helga in many different ways; at every time of day and night, indoors and outdoors, clothed as well as nude. Helga's physical changes throughout the fifteen years along with Wyeth's growth as an artist are what make the collection so interesting. We really get to see the changes and advances he gained during the years while he used Helga as a subject.
