RIP: ANDREW WYETH

American Artist ANDREW WYETH passed away today at the age of 91.

Wyeth is best known to the Masses for his famous painting "CHRISTINA'S WORLD" (above).

I really liked Wyeth's work - his paintings were filled with both beauty, peace and melancholy. And they always told a story within your own imagination.

Rest in Peace.

And this being JimSmash..... here's a Superman cover from in the 90s that made me think of Wyeth's painting:
