Abstract

In Christina's World, one of the most beloved works of American art, Andrew Wyeth painted Christina Olson crawling crablike across the field below her house, raised on emaciated arms, with a swollen knob for an elbow, and hands clenched and gnarled. The significance of these physical abnormalities, and the message Wyeth endeavored to convey via the portrait, are considered here in light of Christina's medical history and the disorder it most likely signifies.

摘要

在《克里斯蒂娜的世界》这幅美国最受欢迎的艺术作品之一中，安德鲁·怀斯描绘了克里斯蒂娜·奥尔森像螃蟹一样在她家下方的田野上爬行，她瘦弱的双臂支撑着身体，肘部肿胀成一个鼓包，双手紧握且扭曲。鉴于克里斯蒂娜的病史以及这幅画像很可能所代表的病症，在此探讨这些身体异常的意义以及怀斯试图通过这幅画像传达的信息。
