The exhibition features &#8220;Her Room&#8221; the first Wyeth painting acquired by the Farnsworth Art Museum of Rockland in 1964. Visitors of the exhibit will have an opportunity to learn how this painting was created.<\/p>\n<p>Also shown will be 15 preparatory studies for this painting from Andrew and Betsy Wyeth&#8217;s personal collection, from the Farnsworth and now on deposit at the Wyeth Center. The studies offer a step-by-step look at Andrew Wyeth&#8217;s working process, showing the progression from his first rudimentary pencil drawings to detailed explorations in watercolor. After resolving every compositional detail, Andrew Wyeth began painting the final work in tempera, a slow, stroke-by-stroke painting process. The exhibition will be accompanied by Victoria Wyeth&#8217;s own photographs of her grandfather.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition was organized through the museum&#8217;s internship program in collaboration with the Bates Department of Art.
