Andrew Wyeth R.I.P.
“Christina’s World,” painted in 1948, shows a disabled Maine neighbor who drags herself through a field toward her house in the distance. The painting, displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, has been regarded as Wyeth’s most popular.”

i just passed on a sweet first edition andrew wyeth book yesterday at that shop the magazine. swoop.
total bummer. christina’s world is one of my favorite paintings of all time. when i was young, before i knew the story behind the painting, i would always imagine my own stories for what she was doing in the middle of the field, looking up the hill towards the prairie home.
