USPS Celebrates Andrew Wyeth's world - the way he wanted it

Today, we celebrate the centennial of American painter Andrew Wyeth’s birthday with “Christina’s World” (1948), one of twelve works included in the USPS’s new set of Andrew Wyeth Forever Stamps. “I know people like to make me the American painter of the American scene,” the artist is quoted in Andrew Wyeth: A Spoken Self-Portrait, Richard Merryman’s remarkable compilation of recorded conversations, 1964-2007. “But I’m no more that than the man in the moon. I’ve created my own world the way I want it.”
