...Christina's World -- Wyeth's landscape of a farmhouse, a hill and the tortured girlish figure at the hill's base -- became an indelible part of postwar America's visual vocabulary and made the 31-year-old son of Illustrator N.C. Wyeth a star. As it happens, Christina Olson, Wyeth's neighbor in Cushing, Me., was no girl (she was 55 at the time), no delicate sylph.
