Andrew Wyeth, Christina’s World, Tempera on panel, 1948
…He recorded the arid landscape, rural house, and shacks with great detail, painting minute blades of grass, individual strands of hair, and nuances of light and shadow. In this style of painting, known as magic realism, everyday scenes are imbued with poetic mystery. (x)
Christina always.

"The technique, that is the actual application of paint on canvas, is that of the impressionists; but Mr. Morang's way of seeing is not impressionistic. For under the glitter of surfaces of paint there is a solidity and structure and organization." —Lawren Harris, Santa Fe art critic, c. 1940's Source.
