One of America's best known artists died this morning. Andrew Wyeth was 91. He painted his neighbors and his surroundings, the landscapes of Pennsylvania's Brandywine Valley and coastal Maine. Jim Duff is the director of the Brandywine River Museum. It's in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, where Andrew Wyeth was born and lived for much of his life. Welcome to the program.

Mr. JAMES H. DUFF (Director, Brandywine River Museum): Thank you.

MONTAGNE: What tradition would you place Andrew Wyeth in? And how do you think he'll be remembered?
