Andrew Wyeth's "Christina's World"

"Christina's World," painted by Andrew Wyeth in 1948 depicts a young girl named Christina who was paralyzed from the waist down due to muscular complications . By converting it into grayscale, the painting lost some of its poignancy. The muted, hushed colors that Wyeth used in the original work complimented the forlorn subject matter and added to the overall impact.
