I love this. Why is hanging art so hard!? And also I adore Andrew Wyeth and feel a deep, deep connect with him. My family has had several close encounters with the Wyeth inner circle and I’ve visited the spot where Christina’s World was started. I think Andy was such a trickster and impulsive contrarian that he would love for you to hang Christina’s World in a decidedly imperfect place. Maybe think of the rowdy spirit of the painter when you hang your favorite piece? :)
(What a beautiful written comment! I’ll be thinking about it for days!)
I was introduced to Christina’s World through a Christina Baker Klein’s A Piece of the World, a fiction novel in which Wyeth spends a number of years on a farm painting Christina’s World. The book is centered on Christina and her family’s life on that farm. I will never see this painting without thinking of the story!
