Kuerner's blood literally springs from his farm in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, the third generation on that land, and that nurture has created both reverent silence and meticulous attention to the details of rural life. Self-taught but mentored by Carolyn Wyeth, daughter of N.C. Wyeth, Kuerner's handling of his subjects, whether landscape, still life or portrait, reflect his long-standing passion for his world, his deep understanding of what works, and his dry wit. There is a quiet power in these images, even the ones that approach the cartoonish. (Annotation ©2008 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
