The Mill

1962

Andrew Newell Wyeth (American, 1917–2009)

Andrew Wyeth and his wife bought an old gristmill on the Brandywine River in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia, and moved into the granary in 1961. The artist erased signs of modern life in this painting, however, to suggest the three centuries of sometimes dark and violent history that he imagined within these buildings.
