懷斯巨幅壁畫重現，承載家族故事

N.C. 懷斯創作於1932年的巨幅壁畫《家庭的神化》在多年封存後，重新出現在一座嶄新的圓形穀倉中。

N.C. 懷斯的這幅壁畫由五塊面板組成，長60英尺，高19英尺，懸掛在威爾明頓市中心儲蓄基金協會出納員的身後長達四分之三個世紀。

In “Apotheosis,” N.C. looms bare-chested dead center as a kind of superman, beside his wife, Carol. At right, his son Andrew is depicted drawing a bow and arrow.

The mural went to the Delaware Historical Society, which couldn’t place it. It was then bequeathed to the Wyeth Foundation for conservation, with Jamie, now 79, committing about $1 million for its reinstallation in a new round barn on his 250-acre Brandywine farm.

“It’s not his greatest work,” Jamie said. “It’s his largest.” But he added, “I can’t imagine doing something like that.”

「這不是他最偉大的作品，」傑米說。 “這是他最大的作品。”但他補充道，“我無法想像自己能做這樣的事情。”

 The work enshrines two of N.C.’s core beliefs — “love of family and the importance of land” — at a terrible time when such values were especially precious

inspiring visions of thrift and industry.

這幅作品體現了懷斯的兩大核心信念——「熱愛家庭和重視土地」。在那個艱難的時代，這些價值觀顯得特別珍貴，也激發了人們節儉和勤奮的願景。
