In 1947, Andrew Wyeth (1917–2009) produced what would become one of the most iconic paintings in American art: a mysterious landscape depicting a single figure, which he called Christina’s World. The subject, Christina Olson, lived in Cushing, Maine, where Wyeth and his wife kept a summer house. Christina’s World is now one of the most well-loved and discussed works of the mid-20th century, mesmerizing audiences for generations. Originally published as a paperback, this enlarged and redesigned hardcover includes an essay by Laura Hoptman, Executive Director of the Drawing Center in New York, which revisits the genesis of the painting and unravels its enduring mystery.
