Andrew Wyeth's 'Ides of March:' The Making of a Masterpiece Exhibition on View at Brandywine River Museum, 3/16

"These drawings are fascinating for what they tell us about an artist's thought process and working methods," said Virginia O'Hara. "It has been particularly interesting to be able to bring new perspective to an artist as well known as Andrew Wyeth."

Visitors can immerse themselves in Andrew Wyeth's world on guided tours of his Chadds Ford studio, where he painted from 1940 until mid-2008. The building also served as home for Wyeth and his family for more than 20 years. Tours of the nearby N.C. Wyeth House & Studio and the Kuerner Farm are also available. The properties are owned by the Brandywine Conservancy, the parent organization of the Brandywine River Museum. Each may be toured separately, or on special packages.

The Brandywine River Museum, located on U.S. Route 1 in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For information, call 610-388-2700 or visitwww.brandywinemuseum.org.
