Wyeth to Be Honored at White House Dinner
Renowned American painter Andrew Wyeth will be honored at a White House dinner hosted by President and Mrs. Nixon. Wyeth, 52, from Chadds Ford, Pa, is described as one of the greatest living artists, with works selling up to 100000 dollars. The June 9 tribute precedes a White House exhibition of his landscapes from Maine and Pennsylvania. Wyeth says his art speaks through paint, not words, and admires the nation’s central building as a symbol of its pulse.
