senior breakfast was really really funny.

Also today I was talking with a girl about how creepy andrew wyeth is as an artist and person.

i saw that painting in person two days ago at the new york moma. it was great.

Wow..that painting brings back bad memories. I had it as a writing prompt this past year at a State academic writing competition...I drew the biggest blank. It must have been the same for most everyone else, because I somehow placed.

It is such an eery painting--I guess I don't really feel a connection with it.
However, it does remind me of that great Betty Davis flick, "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?"...such an awesome film.

that's funny that you mention that. everyone i've shown this painting to says it's very eery, scary, disturbing, etc. but for me, this painting is uplifting, hopeful, peaceful, and happy

this painting makes me think of a time in this country's past when the agrarian lifestyle reigned supreme, when man was more connected to his job and in turn nature. when you can lie in the middle of a corn field with your hand dug into the soil and your eyes staring at the cloudsabove you, connected to the earth below and the sky above

well..if you look closely, the girl..."Christina," I assume...is incredibly thin--seemingly unnaturally so. she looks crippled and almost abandoned, like someone has left her there to die alone.
also, the house looks abandoned and possibly boarded up--the ashy colors in the house and the sky reflect a somber tone.
the agrarian appeal is definitely there, and that's probably the impression i had of the painting at first glance; but the more i looked at it the more i felt that the whole natural aspect was not really the important theme in this piece...i see a genuine desperation, hunger and fear.

but that's the great thing about art, right? two people can look at the same piece and see two completely different things.

hah, i go to a school where probably about 1/2 the girls are anorexic so i didn't even notice that she was unusually thin

but i did some research on the painting, and your interpretation is more of what wyeth was going for. This painting was based off of something he saw in Maine I believe. The girl is actually paralyzed from the legs down, hence the crawling motion

but still, i like my interpretation more. it's happier :]
