Winter 1946 is a 1946 painting by the American artist Andrew Wyeth. It depicts a boy running down a hill in the winter.
The painting is housed at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, North Carolina. [1]
According to the Wyeth, he worked on the painting for the whole winter of 1946. It was the first tempera painting he made after the death of his father, N. C. Wyeth, who was hit by a train. Andrew Wyeth said about the picture: "It was me, at a loss—that hand drifting in the air was my free soul, groping." [2] Behind the hill was the location where Wyeth's father had died. Wyeth said he regretted that he never had painted his father's portrait, but that "the hill finally became a portrait of him". [2]

The first of these, Treasure Island, was one of his masterpieces and the proceeds paid for his studio. Wyeth was a realist painter at a time when the camera and photography began to compete with his craft. Sometimes seen as melodramatic, his illustrations were designed to be understood quickly. Wyeth, who was both a painter and an illustrator, understood the difference, and said in 1908, "Painting and illustration cannot be mixed—one cannot merge from one into the other."
