Wyeth Enshrined in French Academy in Velvet Uniform
American painter Andrew Wyeth, age about 50, becomes the French Academy of Fine Arts second American member in its 182 year history. He dons a blue velvet uniform with a swallowtail and sword as he joins the Académie des Beaux-Arts, noting a desire for a future European exhibition and that the public barely knows his work. John Singer Sargent was the first American member. Wyeth observes the honor despite a lack of prior works shown in France.
