ANDREW WYETH (1917-2009)

 
<div>Andrew Wyeth’s "Quart and a Half" (1961) belongs to a deeply personal sequence of works inspired by a single day he and his wife, Betsy, spent picking blueberries in a field as a storm gathered. That afternoon became the genesis for one of Wyeth’s most iconic tempera paintings, "Distant Thunder" (1961), which depicts Betsy reclining in the grass with their dog, suffused with a charged stillness before the storm. A preparatory watercolor, "Blueberries, Study for Distant Thunder" (1961, Farnsworth Art Museum), further traces the theme. "Quart and a Half" marks the haunting aftermath, shifting focus from figure to still life: a blueberry carton and tin cup sit abandoned in the grass, their utilitarian presence transformed into emblems of memory and absence. </div><br><br><div> </div><br><br><div>The composition is stripped to essentials—a high horizon line, a darkened field, and the luminous carton and cup catching the eye. The disturbed grass, delicately rendered in intricate strokes, becomes a subtle index of Betsy’s earlier presence, now vanished. That empty imprint became the emotional core of the painting, an emblem of transience. As an early still life, the work reveals Wyeth’s ability to invest the simplest objects with profound emotional resonance, extending the still-life tradition, long associated with mortality and the ephemeral nature of life, into a meditation on the quiet echoes of lived experience. Executed in watercolor, the painting also highlights Wyeth’s balance of spontaneity and restraint, the flickering grasses animated with immediacy yet anchored by a deliberate compositional rigor. </div><br><br><div> </div><br><br><div>"Quart and a Half" also holds distinguished exhibition history. It was featured in the traveling retrospective "Andrew Wyeth: Temperas, Watercolors, Dry Brush, Drawings 1938 into 1966", shown at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art (1966–67). Earlier, the work was chosen as the cover image for the catalogue of the 1963 University of Arizona Art Gallery exhibition, underscoring its importance within Wyeth’s oeuvre.

Quart and a Half" (1961) de Andrew Wyeth pertenece a una secuencia de obras profundamente personal inspirada en un solo día que él y su esposa, Betsy, pasaron recogiendo arándanos en un campo mientras se avecinaba una tormenta. Esa tarde se convirtió en la génesis de una de las pinturas al temple más icónicas de Wyeth, "Trueno lejano" (1961), que representa a Betsy tumbada en la hierba con su perro, impregnada de una cargada quietud antes de la tormenta. Una acuarela preparatoria, "Blueberries, Study for Distant Thunder" (1961, Farnsworth Art Museum), profundiza en el tema. "Cuarto y medio" marca la inquietante secuela, cambiando el enfoque de la figura a la naturaleza muerta: un cartón de arándanos y una taza de hojalata abandonados en la hierba, su presencia utilitaria transformada en emblemas de la memoria y la ausencia.





La composición se reduce a lo esencial: una línea de horizonte alta, un campo en penumbra y el cartón y la taza luminosos que atraen la mirada. La hierba alterada, delicadamente representada con trazos intrincados, se convierte en un sutil índice de la presencia anterior de Betsy, ahora desaparecida. Esa huella vacía se convirtió en el núcleo emocional del cuadro, un emblema de la fugacidad. Como una de las primeras naturalezas muertas, la obra revela la capacidad de Wyeth para dotar a los objetos más simples de una profunda resonancia emocional, ampliando la tradición de la naturaleza muerta, asociada durante mucho tiempo con la mortalidad y la naturaleza efímera de la vida, para convertirla en una meditación sobre los silenciosos ecos de la experiencia vivida. Ejecutada en acuarela, la pintura también pone de relieve el equilibrio de Wyeth entre espontaneidad y moderación, las hierbas parpadeantes animadas con inmediatez pero ancladas por un deliberado rigor compositivo.





"Cuarto y medio" también cuenta con un distinguido historial de exposiciones. Formó parte de la retrospectiva itinerante "Andrew Wyeth: Temperas, Watercolors, Dry Brush, Drawings 1938 into 1966", expuesta en el Museo de Arte de Filadelfia, el Museo de Arte de Baltimore y el Museo Whitney de Arte Americano (1966-67). Anteriormente, la obra fue elegida como imagen de portada del catálogo de la exposición de la Galería de Arte de la Universidad de Arizona de 1963, lo que subraya su importancia dentro de la obra de Wyeth. Junto con "Truenos lejanos" y su estudio, esta acuarela transforma un picnic compartido en una meditación perdurable sobre la memoria, la impermanencia y la poesía de la vida cotidiana.
