<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.

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.

L'œuvre "Quart and a Half" (1961) d'Andrew Wyeth fait partie d'une série d'œuvres profondément personnelles inspirées par une journée que lui et sa femme, Betsy, ont passée à cueillir des myrtilles dans un champ alors qu'un orage se préparait. Cet après-midi est devenu la genèse de l'une des peintures à la détrempe les plus emblématiques de Wyeth, "Distant Thunder" (1961), qui représente Betsy allongée dans l'herbe avec leur chien, imprégnée d'un calme chargé avant l'orage. Une aquarelle préparatoire, "Blueberries, Study for Distant Thunder" (1961, Farnsworth Art Museum), approfondit le thème. "Quart and a Half" marque le contrecoup obsédant de l'orage, en passant de la figure à la nature morte : un carton de myrtilles et un gobelet en fer-blanc sont abandonnés dans l'herbe, leur présence utilitaire se transformant en emblèmes de la mémoire et de l'absence.





La composition est réduite à l'essentiel : une ligne d'horizon haute, un champ sombre et le carton et le gobelet lumineux qui attirent le regard. L'herbe perturbée, délicatement rendue par des traits complexes, devient un indice subtil de la présence antérieure de Betsy, aujourd'hui disparue. Cette empreinte vide est devenue le noyau émotionnel du tableau, un emblème de l'éphémère. En tant que première nature morte, l'œuvre révèle la capacité de Wyeth à investir les objets les plus simples d'une profonde résonance émotionnelle, étendant la tradition de la nature morte, longtemps associée à la mortalité et à la nature éphémère de la vie, à une méditation sur les échos silencieux de l'expérience vécue. Exécuté à l'aquarelle, le tableau met également en évidence l'équilibre de Wyeth entre spontanéité et retenue, les herbes vacillantes étant animées par l'immédiateté tout en étant ancrées dans une rigueur de composition délibérée.





"Quart and a Half" a également fait l'objet de nombreuses expositions. Elle a fait partie de la rétrospective itinérante "Andrew Wyeth : Temperas, Watercolors, Dry Brush, Drawings 1938 into 1966", présentée au Philadelphia Museum of Art, au Baltimore Museum of Art et au Whitney Museum of American Art (1966-67). Auparavant, l'œuvre avait été choisie comme image de couverture du catalogue de l'exposition de 1963 de la University of Arizona Art Gallery, soulignant ainsi son importance dans l'œuvre de Wyeth. Avec "Distant Thunder" et son étude, cette aquarelle transforme un pique-nique partagé en une méditation durable sur la mémoire, l'impermanence et la poésie de la vie quotidienne.
