This is one of the most famous paintings in America, and most people have no idea what they are actually looking at...

The painting is Christina's World, made by Andrew Wyeth in 1948, and the woman was real: her name was Anna Christina Olson, Wyeth's neighbour in Cushing, Maine. Since childhood a degenerative condition had slowly taken the strength from her legs, until walking was no longer possible. She refused a wheelchair, and for her entire adult life she chose to drag herself across the ground with her arms instead, going wherever she wanted to go under her own power.

Wyeth saw her one afternoon from an upstairs window, alone in that vast field, crawling slowly toward the house on the hill. He said the painting was an attempt to do justice to her extraordinary conquest of a life which most people would consider hopeless. Her world, he said, was limited physically but by no means spiritually.

That is what turns this painting from a portrait of frailty into one of the most triumphant images ever made...

Look at it long enough and it stops being about what her body took from her, and becomes about what she would not stop doing anyway. The field is enormous and she is small and the house is far away, and still she goes, because the alternative, to be carried, to give up, to let the distance win, was something she simply would not accept.

There is one more thing: Christina loved this painting. Pink was her favorite color, and Wyeth had placed her exactly where she most wanted to be, out in the open, in her own field, under her own sky. Late in her life, when she could no longer even crawl out to that field, she said something that holds the whole meaning of art inside it:

"Andy put me where he knew I wanted to be. Now that I can’t be there anymore, all I do is think of that picture, and I’m there."

@solx_fi @GulagLobbyist The studio Fortiche who have made some amazing series such as Arcane are doing a series on Bahubalu. That is probably the best chance Indian mythology adaptation will get. Check out the trailer https://t.co/PQVu1dC8QD

Chelsea are building one of the youngest squads in Europe. So why bring in Jordan Henderson?

His arrival might seem to go against the club's long term strategy, but his experience, leadership and mentality could be exactly what this young Chelsea side needs.

A closer look at why the move makes sense:

@YoavCoh40711468 @NFLSTROUD not in the FO's control it's an NFL thing

@YoavCoh40711468 @NFLSTROUD Before the teams were allowed to waive the fines for not attending practices et all but now the fines are compulsory. So the player has to be present but doesn't do anything that risks injury, whereas b4 they could just stay at home

@bomicElgreat @StanCollymore That money that you think will be put to "developing" smaller countries football will never reach the grassroots level. Just look at the recent Argentina FA expose that showed them diverting pretty much all funds to offshore accounts instead of back to their country.

@RNB215 Bruh if you told me in 2015 we would have 2 All-Stars we drafted (One of whom won an MVP), a promising rookie (top 3 pick), an All Star still in his prime who helped the Celtics win a ship AND Lebron.... I would have asked to stop playing too much NB2K lol
