Early life
James Wyeth is Andrew and Betsy Wyeth's second child, and he was born three years after his older brother Nicholas, his only sibling. He was raised on his parents' farm "The Mill" in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, in much the same way as his father was raised, and with much the same influences. He demonstrated the same drawing skills as his father did at similar ages. He attended public school for six years and then, at his behest, was privately tutored at home so he could concentrate on art. Nicholas' brother Nicholas would later become an art dealer.
Jamie studied at age 12, with his uncle Carolyn Wyeth, a well-known artist in her own right, and the resident of the N. C. Wyeth House and Studio packed with the artwork and props of his grandfather. He wrote English and history at home in the morning, and in the afternoon, he worked with other students at the studio, learning basic drawing and composition basics. "She was extremely restrictive," he said later. It wasn't exciting, but it was important." Jamie discovered an interest in oil painting, a sensory medium he loved: the look, smell, and feel of it. Carolyn Wyeth and Howard Pyle were two of his first influences on learning how to work with oil paint. Although Jamie's watercolors resembled his father's, his colors were more vibrant.
Jamie was introduced to art as a child: his talented family members' art books, attendance at exhibits, meeting with dealers, and becoming familiar with art historians. He also had an offbeat sense of humor, often referring to the macabre.
Wyeth painted with his father for at least three years in the early 1960s, when Wyeth was in his middle to late teens. Wyeth has shared the following: "Quite simply, Andrew Wyeth is my closest friend" and the artist whose work I love the most." When we talk about one another's work, the father/son relationship is left out. We're completely honest—we have nothing to gain by being courteous." He returned to New York City, around 1965, to better analyze the city's artistic treasures and to learn human anatomy by visiting the city morgue.
Wyeth married Phyllis Mills, daughter of Alice du Pont Mills and James P. Mills, as one of his models in 1968. Wyeth found her to be a tenacious woman with a nagging personality. She was permanently injured in a car accident and then a motorized chair) to get around. Mills is the subject of several of his drawings (which usually depict her seated) including And Then into the Deep Gorge (1975), Wicker (1979), and Whale (1978), as well as the drawing of Phyllis' hat in Wolfbane (1984).
Phyllis was a senator and president when he first served for John F. Kennedy. She has served on several committees, including "the National Committee for the Handicapped (Kennedy Center), the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and the Natural Resources Defense Council. She began riding steeplechase horses as a child but later took over her parents' thoroughbred horse racing and breeding aspirations by winning the 2012 Belmont Stakes with Union Rags. She died in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, on January 14, 2019.
Jamie bought the Lobster Cove property on Monhegan Island, Maine, which had previously been owned by Rockwell Kent, the respected American painter of modernist wilderness landscapes admired by his grandfather and succeeding generations. On Monhegan Island, Jamie has painted several of the local people.
On the Brandywine, he has a home in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. Betsy and Andrew Wyeth's parents sold Jamie the Tenants Harbor Light on Southern Island, Maine, which they hadn't owned since 1978. Since 1933, the light station has been inactive. It gives him the privacy and subject matter he most enjoys for his art; the majority of his painting is done at Tenants Harbor; the remainder is done at Chadds Ford.
