Metro: Archives (Yellow, Green Lines) 'Andrew Wyeth: Looking Out, Looking In' highlights the Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania artist's fascination with windows - a theme he explored over several decades in more than 300 works in oil, tempera, and varied media on paper. A time-honored motif for artists, the window has long signified the artist's vision and functions as a metaphor for representational painting, which offers a 'window' on the world. Tour this special exhibition of more than 50 objects at the National Gallery, its only venue worldwide, from May 4th to November 30th, 2014. Bring a colleague and enjoy this evening of art, food, and fun!
