Great Art Wednesday:
Jamie Wyeth & the Unflinching Eye
Wednesday, November 18 at 11am and 2pm in the Anderson Studio
Running Time: 84 minutes
A Juno Films documentary, directed by Glenn Holsten.
The first feature documentary on an artist who painted JFK, Andy Warhol, and the animals on his own Maine farm with the same unflinching eye.
Jamie Wyeth is the third generation of a painting dynasty that includes his grandfather N.C. Wyeth and father Andrew Wyeth, and he's carved out his own path within it. His subjects range from John F. Kennedy and Andy Warhol to Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rudolf Nureyev, and the animals on his farm and the islands of Maine, always seen through a distinctive, sometimes unsettling lens.
Jamie Wyeth and the Unflinching Eye is the first feature-length documentary to take in the full scope of his life and work.
