Professor Walter Liedtke, emeritus Curator of European Paintings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, writes in his essay, “Seeing Florence from New York” that, “in Two Rivers Wyatt sees the male figure as both a painter and sculptor and as the Hudson River, and more broadly as the natural and spiritual force of North America. The female figure represents the Arno, Florence, and poetry, which for Wyatt especially means the muse of the visual arts. One could describe the group as a sort of Adam and Eve in reverse, with Adam emerging from Eve quite as much of European and American art grew from roots in Florence, and as much as modern poetry owes a great debt to Dante. As for the treelike base of Two Rivers and its rough trunks thrusting upward, Wyatt has pointed to studies of nature (including drawings of broken trees and of waterfalls) by Frederic Edwin Church, Thomas Cole, and Jasper F. Cropsey…” Two Rivers is permanently placed in the courtyard at the Museo dell‘Opera del Duomo di Pisa, Pisa, Italy as of 2010 after a temporary placement in Sala d’Arme di Palazzo Vecchio, Piazza Signoria, Florence, Italy, the site of his sculpture retrospective in 2009. Professor Leidtke would often visit Wyatt’s Cathedral Crypt Sculpture Studio, and Greg would return the visit to Professor Leidtke’s office at the Met for continued conversations on the history and future of art.
