    If we can commemorate Montalban, surely some notice of the passing of Andrew Wyeth is due...

    The word melancholy shows up in almost every commentary on him, and I think it misses the mark. Its not mostly melancholy, its austerity; and it forces the viewer to experience the subtler sensations, the smell of the feathers or rabbits blood or Helga's hair, the exact sensation of the cool, saltmoist breeze, the itch of the grain dust... the muted colors result in a heightened impact.

    "Wind From the Sea" helped me through some brutal Mohawk Valley winters in college.

    Yea, but did he have a midget sidekick wearing a matching white suit? . . . . .





    Didn't think so.
