You might not know the name Andrew Wyeth. But odds are you know this painting.

In case you didn't know his work, or didn't know that he was perhaps the most polarizing American artist of his day, here is an extensive obituary by NY Times chief art critic Michael Kimmelman.

Oh my, I grew up knowing about the Wyeths because of the Brandywine River Museum, he was an incredible painter.

Wow. I had no idea he was still alive. I've always thought of that painting in connection with Dorothy finally finding her way home from Oz.
