| In this view of the village of Chadds Ford, Wyeth records the hot, muggy atmosphere of a Brandywine July. From about 1908 to 1912, Wyeth experimented with various Impressionist techniques in small scale landscapes. Like the Impressionists, Wyeth painted this work outside, directly in the landscape, a technique known as painting en plein air. The looser brushstrokes that appear as individual dabs of paint reflect a modern approach to landscape that captures a moment in time. |
