Jamie Wyeth

James “Jamie” Browning Wyeth was born in 1946 in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, into one of America’s most celebrated artistic dynasties. As the son of Andrew Wyeth and grandson of N.C. Wyeth, he continued the family tradition of contemporary realist painting, documenting the landscapes, people, and animals along the Brandywine River of Delaware and Pennsylvania. His talent was recognized early when, in 1969, he became the youngest artist elected to the prestigious National Academy of Design since its founding over 150 years earlier.
Wyeth’s career includes remarkable commissions and honors. His portrait of John F. Kennedy, commissioned by the Kennedy family, toured the nation on the Bicentennial Freedom Train and now hangs in the Kennedy Library in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1979, he created an original lithograph and the official Kennedy Library poster. He designed a Christmas stamp for the U.S. Postal Service in 1971 and was selected by the Metropolitan Opera Association in 1977 to create limited edition graphics for their Fine Art Portfolio.
His works are held in major museum collections including the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, Museum of Modern Art, Brandywine River Museum, and William A. Farnsworth Art Museum. Jamie Wyeth is represented by Park West Gallery, continuing to share his masterful realist vision with collectors worldwide.
