As traced throughout this volume, just what Wyeth uncovered beneath the farm’s austere facade is key to understanding his singular artistic vision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis intimate look at Wyeth’s decades-long connection to Kuerner Farm and the people there reveals not only the source of many of the artist’s most deeply resonant paintings but also the secrets that have given his deceptively simple art its mysterious pull on the popular imagination for generations. As Wyeth became one of the country’s most celebrated artists, he continued to return to the farm, the Kuerners, and to the enigmatic Helga Testorf, creating timeless portraits from an experience of deep looking and charting a way toward unearthing from the ordinary, the extraordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e160 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublished 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48666458194145,"sku":"50638","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2524\/0922\/files\/9780847845736.jpg?v=1784226064","url":"https:\/\/shop.clevelandart.org\/products\/andrew-wyeth-at-kuerner-farm-the-eye-of-the-earth","provider":"Cleveland Museum of Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
