Christina’s World

Description

This fine art archival pigment print is a high quality reproduction of Andrew Wyeth’s world famous original tempera painting Christina’s World. With incredible detail, Wyeth depicts his neighbor, Anna Christina Olson, in the foreground, and her family’s rural home in the distance. Wyeth explained that Olson “was limited physically but by no means spiritually” by polio. “The challenge to me was to do justice to her extraordinary conquest of a life which most people would consider hopeless,” said Wyeth of his creation of this much-loved scene. This original painting is in MOMA’s permanent collection, and regularly on view in their Painting and Sculpture galleries.
