...photography. His work on display consists of nine striking 41 x 29 inch photos, all of a muscular blond man in various surroundings. In the photographs, the model reclines on a bed, eats chocolate, sits in the driver’s seat of a car and pushes a lawn mower.

After a tense encounter with security personnel, who weren't prepared for his 5 a.m. visit, Wyeth was given a secure area under a tree from which to sketch what turned out to be a glorious sunrise that cast a golden glow over the mansion. As he feverishly sketched, the back door...
