Someone was gushing over the "beautiful girl" in the painting, and Wyeth laughed cause it was an image of a stranded cripple- the viewer had gotten it so wrong.

Highly recommended. Also the tour of his father's studio is a must see.Bill Brookoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17152376677719878690noreply@blogger.com
