Snow Hill
Painter Andrew Wyeth's Final Masterwork
Atop a snow covered hill a group of six figures hold colorful ribbons dancing about a May pole with train tracks in the distance. In Andrew Wyeth’s culminating masterwork they dance in anticipation of his impending death for the hell he put them through. Notice there are seven ribbons however.

Atoms and Adversaries - the Power of OPPENHEIMER
J. Robert Oppenheimer lies in bed, his lover Jean hovering intently over him holding the Bhagavad Gita, the sacred Hindu text written in Sanskrit. She demands his translation of an obscure line. Oppenheimer struggles with the dead language and hesitantly speaks the now infamous quote.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Great choice for a critique. And great critique. I don't know this artist but I do now, thanks to you and am going to check out more. Reminded me of The Wicker Man. Do you know that film, Kevin?
Great review. As soon as I am done my Nutrition Diploma I hope to add more content
Sorry to say I don't know this artist. You have piqued my interest with this!
Kevin, if you love this painting you may love the work of one of Wyeth’s students, Bo Bartlett. He is one of my favorite painters working currently. I had never seen this Wyeth, it’s much more interesting. Also, if you go to Maine, visit the Farnsworth, their collection is founded on the Wyeth’s work. Thanks for sharing this one!
Whoaaa, this was so profound! Excellent review!
Wonderful critique!!! Loving it!!!
