...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. Some of the prints are slightly blurred, while others are sharply defined...

Then again, I really couldn’t think this display was crazy because I could still see a few tents out on the lawn (named “Krzyzewskiville,” in honor of Duke’s legendary head coach).

Wyeth asked to sketch sunrise on the White House from the South Lawn. 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...
