David’s portrait by Andrew Wyeth now in display at the Farnsworth Art Museum, Rockland, Maine.

“One remarkable artist’s portrait of another remarkable artist: master Passamaquoddy canoe maker David Moses Bridges (1962-2017) by master painter Andrew Wyeth (1917-2009) at the Farnsworth Art Museum, Rockland, Maine”.

Update:

This is one of the sketches Wyeth did before he did the painting named “threat“, where David and his oldest son Tobias were painted together.

  1. Wow!
    Had not seen this. Looks like a study for the final piece. Man was he a good artists. It really captures David.
    Of course nothing could really capture David. The guy had soul.
    Was friends with David and family for 6 years.
    David and his wife were both incredible culture bridge builders connecting both South and North First Nations to the rest of the world.
