Marriage

Spotted: "Plum Leaves" from Flickr, after Pinterest search, 13 June 2018

"Marriage" is by Andrew Wyeth, an American realist painter. As in many images of art online, this work's ownership and location were hard to find. The information I needed didn't even come up in the article that featured George and Helen Sipala, the sleeping couple portrayed in the painting.

So Marriage is likely in private collection, unlike "Christina's World," Wyeth's most popular, and a masterpiece of magic realism, which is in the Museum of Modern Art. Christina's World is already an iconic American image: the Olson house in Cushing, Maine, as depicted, is now preserved at the Farnsworth Art Museum; the property, Olsen farm, became a National Historic Landmark on June 2011.

The month of June is traditionally the bride's, liwaliw Visuals will be on the look-out for notable bridal, marriage or wedding images.
