Jamie Wyeth b. 1946

About Jamie Wyeth: Jamie Wyeth, a third-generation artist, carries forward the formidable legacy of his family—his father, Andrew Wyeth, and grandfather, N.C. Wyeth—while boldly reimagining realism for the contemporary era.

Blending oil, watercolor, and tempera with fearless experimentation, Wyeth’s work traverses a rich spectrum of subjects: from the windswept coastlines of Maine and the pastoral quietude of Pennsylvania to intimate, psychologically charged portraits of cultural icons like Andy Warhol. His distinctive realist style—marked by dramatic lighting, saturated shadows, and surreal undertones—imbues each work with emotional intensity and narrative intrigue, revealing as much about the artist’s inner world as his subjects.

Wyeth’s paintings are held in the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Art, the National Portrait Gallery, the Museum of Modern Art, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the Brandywine River Museum, and the Farnsworth Art Museum, among others.
