Christina's World Art by Andrew Wyeth at AllPosters.com

A tribute to a courageous woman, as well as the unspoiled beauty of her surroundings, “Christina’s World” is Andrew Wyeth’s most famous painting. A representational watercolorist whose neutral-toned, nuanced work depicted rural America’s rustic beauty, Wyeth painted “Christina’s World” in homage to his neighbor, Christina Olson, who was dragging herself toward her house despite crippling polio. Wyeth (1917-2009), moved by her determination, painted her and her house in numerous works.

Called “the painter of the people,” popular American realist Andrew Wyeth (1917-2009) deeply sympathized with humanity and its struggles. Schooled in painting by his artistic father, Wyeth held his first one-man exhibition at age 20. After his father’s untimely death at a railroad crossing, Wyeth’s signature, subdued style emerged, infused with symbolism and high realism. Generating controversy when it conflicted with 20th century abstractionism, his realistic art was still widely published, and was featured at the first one-man White House exhibition.

This art print displays sharp, vivid images with a high degree of color accuracy. A member of the versatile family of art prints, this high-quality reproduction represents the best of both worlds: quality and affordability. Art prints are created on paper similar to that of a postcard or greeting card using a digital or offset lithography press.

This is one of my favorite Wyeth paintings, but this particular print was not good. The colors looked very washed out and details were blurred, almost like a second or third generation reproduction or something. I'm going to get rid of it.
