Wyeth often noted: "I paint my life." One of the best-known images in 20th-century American art is his painting, Christina's World, currently in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. This tempera was painted in 1948 when Wyeth was 31 years old.

Quote

I don't paint these hills around Chadds Ford because they're better than the hills somewhere else. It's that I was born here, lived here -- things have a meaning for me. I do an awful lot of thinking and dreaming about things in the past and the future -- the timelessness of the rocks and the hills -- all the people who have existed there.
