When we used to get JAMA in print I really loved looking at the artwork and reading the short blurb about the painting in question. Many times it was simply a beautiful picture, but other times the paintings had a link to medicine. The painting below is one of those.
Christina's World by Andrew Wyeth (housed at NYC's MOMA) is one of those paintings that stays in your mind. Why is she out in the field? Can she walk back to the house on her own?
In a recent blog article at Discover magazine's website, Rebecca Creston looks at this painting with a critical eye and explain's more about the mystery surrounding Christina.
