Andrew wyeth helga5/14/2023 ![]() ![]() Why was the Helga series kept secret? For art, love, or publicity? This series of antique portrait paintings was only revealed by Wyeth after he contracted the flu at age 68 and feared he was dying.

The only other person who knew about them was the model - their neighbor, Helga Testorf. In the Summer of 1985, while on a drive in their eggplant-colored Stutz Blackhawk, Andrew Wyeth revealed to his wife that he had been working on a series of paintings for the past 15 years without her knowledge. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Another member of the team, William Fairbairn, was a portly pensioner with an unusual passion: he was the world's leading expert in silent killing. Now, his talents were put to more devious use: he built the dirty bomb used to assassinate Hitler's favourite, Reinhard Heydrich. One of them, Cecil Clarke, was a maverick engineer who had spent the 1930s inventing futuristic caravans. Winston Churchill selected them because they were wildly creative and thoroughly ungentlemanly. The guerrilla campaign that followed was to prove every bit as extraordinary as the six gentlemen who directed it. In the spring of 1939, a top secret organisation was founded in London: its purpose was to plot the destruction of Hitler's war machine through spectacular acts of sabotage. Six gentlemen, one goal - the destruction of Hitler's war machine. ![]()
