Christina's World Study, 1948 watercolor
copyright Andrew Wyeth |
See 114 watercolors and drawings by American master artist Andrew Wyeth, inspired by the world of Christina and Alvaro Olson in Cushing, Maine. This exhibition explores the artist’s ongoing fascination with the Olson’s everyday activities, domestic interiors, and utilitarian objects. Spanning three decades of his career, the works range from stand-alone watercolors to preliminary notations and detailed studies that demonstrate how the artist’s compositions evolved into finished tempera paintings. The exhibition includes ten studies for the painting Christina’s World (1948) as seen in early compositional notations, detailed figures, and arm studies and the final watercolor sketch of Christina.
