Andrew Wyeth was an American realist painter known for works depicting rural and small town life. He worked in a regionalist style, often painting scenes around his hometown of Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania and summer home in Cushing, Maine. One of his most famous works is Christina's World, currently in the Museum of Modern Art. Wyeth was influenced by his father, N.C. Wyeth, who was also a famous illustrator and painter. He preferred to paint landscapes in winter and fall when the "bone structure" was visible and more of the story was left untold.

"I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure in the
landscape — the loneliness of it — the dead feeling of winter.
Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn't show.

the subconscious.
