Beautifully composed book of paintings, photographs, studies, and commentary by Betsy Wyeth of her husband Andrew Wyeth's 20 plus years friendship and artistic documentary of Christina Olson, her brother Alvaro, and their lives in their home and surrounding fields and property. In exquisite,unflinching detail, Wyeth brings this lonely, proud but hard-working even though physically challenged woman to life and finally to worldwide acclaim in his most emotionally compelling painting Christina's World, now housed at MoCA in New York City. This book is a treasure of insight and a view of the artistic process of one of America's most noted artists--Andrew Wyeth.

I find Wyeth's work fascinating, and have wanted a copy of Christina's World for years. I enjoy the art of realism, and find the pre-finished sketches interesting; they are a unique addition to this book. I was surprised to find it on Ebay, and even more surprised when I won the bid. I like to show everyone who comes over this great book.
Great photos of a compelling artist. Shows a great variety of his work, not just the "famous" ones.
