Andrew Wyeth, one of the most popular and also most lambasted artists in the history of American art, a reclusive linchpin in a colorful family dynasty of artists whose precise realist views of hardscrabble rural life became icons of national culture and sparked endless debates about the nature of modern art, died Friday at his home in Chadds Ford. He was 91. (via Andrew Wyeth, Revered and Ridiculed Artist, Dies - Obituary (Obit) - NYTimes.com)
