one of three prints I had on my wall in my younger years<\/a>. But I didn’t really know about Andrew Wyeth or the source material, and this book gives both. The painting depicts a scene in coastal Maine, for crying out loud, and I had always assumed Kansas.<\/p>\nAt any rate, Wyeth spent a lot of time painting and sketching his neighbors, the Olsons, and their farmhouse. This book includes a lot of that material as well as photos from the time when Wyeth was painting. And allusions to how popular the images became in his–and Christina’s–lifetime.<\/p>\n
A very nice book. This is also a former Christian County library book, but none of the images are missing. So, yay.<\/p>\n
If I’m going to eat up two or three of these art books a week, I’m fortunate that the semi-annual library book sales are coming up in a month. <\/p>\n

<\/a>This book<\/a>, on the other hand<\/a>, is what I’d hope from an art book. It’s got lots of paintings, studies for paintings, and not only the story of Andrew Wyeth’s Christina’s World but the story about the artist’s friendship with his neighbors Christina and Alvaro Olson.<\/p>\n
