I remember seeing this painting in one of my moms coffee-table books when I was a child and staring at it for a long time, not quite understanding but knowing something was wrong with her. I remember my mom came out of my peripheral and told me ā€œshe canā€™t walk, sheā€™s sick and her legs donā€™t workā€ and being shocked. It filled me with a sense of frustration and bitter longing, so child me decided she didnā€™t like the painting bc it made her sad. Now I look back and feel the same pang of empathy and sadness. I know sheā€™s long dead, but I want to wish her well. She touched my childish heart.

Being disabled myself I feel the struggle behind Olsonā€™s crawling. My mind works slow with cerebral palsy but able to be adventurous every now and then lightens my spirits.

It was easier to maneuver in the world without a wheelchair. Remember, the Americans with Disabilities Act wasn't made federal law until the 1990's. Look at the terrain she had to maneuver, it would have been a nightmare for a wheelchair, especially one from the time period.

I remember this painting when I was a child. It haunted me, I couldn't understand it,but I never forgot it.

I remember in elementary school my art teacher told us that the "story" of the painting was that this girl couldn't walk, but still wanted to be outside, so her father would carry her out there to lay down in the sun. Apparently she was looking back to the farmhouse and calling for her dad to get her back. Now I'm wonder where she got that information šŸ˜­

Wyeth is buried near where sheā€™s crawling. Actual location looks very different. Itā€™s also a painting of his recently deceased father. The house and Christina are in Maine, but the hill they are on is in PA. He mixed the locations.

My favorite painting. It hung behind my Dad's desk at the University library where he worked. He explained it to me when I told him how it struck me and I asked if I could have it. The University declined my request and I've been chasing an embrace with Christina ever since.

I have this painting hanging in my dorm room, wonderful piece and my favorite Wyeth, although most who visit me find it melancholic I think thereā€™s something inspiring about it

This is definitely one of my most beloved paintings.. it's how I kinda feel with my invisible disabilities.. ik others have it way worse but this year has been particularly tough with many a rude, intolerable and indifferently towards me and what I'm trying to say. It's like some people love seeing others struggle. I'm so exhausted emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually.., I wish I had the will power to see beyond the vast field Maybe someday :''').

Iā€™ll never forget the first time I saw this painting as a child I got goosebumps. I found it so relatable and still do.

I was so excited to share this with my Art appreciation class. I have put your channel has a link on our course page and allow my students to use you as an informal source when creating their research presentations. Especially for Louis Wain. There is so little context for his art outside of psychology journals.

Had she used a wheelchair she wouldn't even be in that field. Wheelchairs back than didn't have over roading abilities like some of them do today. So, by her choosing to not use a wheelchair she could go & be in places where many others in similar situations could only dream of. Good for her for doing her own thing. We only get this one life, best to live it however you wish.

The pose also reminds me of one in Buster Keatonā€™s one week, where theyā€™re staring back at the wreckage of their house after the train hits. I had thought there was something frantic about her body language, as if sheā€™d just seen or heard something terrible had happened back home and was just in the act of scrabbling up and running to help. Now I know the truth itā€™s a relief to know everythingā€™s going just fine!šŸ˜‚
