His library, photos, film collection, costumes and props are some of the fascinating objects on the tour. As Jamie Wyeth has said, “The world of Andrew Wyeth is best understood by a visit to his studio.”
A final exploration of the Wyeth story revolves around the Kuerner Farm. From the age of 15, Andrew Wyeth, son of N.C. Wyeth, found
a major source of inspiration at
the nearby home of Karl and Anna Kuerner. Young Andy found an abundance of subjects at the farm: animals, buildings, landscapes and the Kuerner family themselves. Nearly 1,000 paintings and drawings were inspired by the property; the Kuerner Farm tour includes areas
of the house, barn and landscape depicted in many of these works.
