Today I just chose to feature one of my personal favorite paintings, by Andrew Wyeth, Christina's World. It is moving. It represents human dignity. In a word, it is perfect.
The results of the life of a paintaholic.
'Winter' by Andrew Wyeth”Oftentimes people will like a picture I paint because it’s maybe the sun hitting on the side of a window and they can enjoy it purely for itself,” Wyeth once said. “It reminds them of some afternoon. But for me, behind that picture could be a night of moonlight when I’ve been in some house in Maine, a night of some terrible tension, or I had this strange mood. Maybe it was Halloween. It’s all there, hiding behind the realistic side. I think the great weakness in most of my work is subject matter. There’s too much of it.”
Here's to a great man and a extraordinary painter.
