people talk a lot about how the popularity of pollock and rothko was an op by the CIA to undermine the currents of soviet realism, and I tend to regard that claim with suspicion, but the curatorial/museum/critical reception of wyeth--
![Wyeth's art has long been controversial. He developed technically beautiful works, had a large following and accrued a considerable fortune as a result. Yet critics, curators and historians have offered conflicting views about the importance of his work. Art historian Robert Rosenblum was asked in 1977 to identify the "most overrated and underrated" artists of the 20th century. He provided one name for both categories: Andrew Wyeth.[40]
Admirers of Wyeth's art believe that his paintings, in addition to their pictorial formal beauty, contain strong emotional currents, symbolic content, and underlying abstraction. Most observers of his art agree that he is skilled at handling the medium of egg tempera (which uses egg yolk as its medium) and watercolor. Wyeth avoided using oil paints. His use of light and shadow lets the subjects illuminate the canvas. His paintings and titles suggest sound, as is implied in many paintings, including Distant Thunder (1961) and Spring Fed (1967).[41] Christina's World became an iconic image, a status unmet to even the best paintings, "that registers as an emotional and cultural reference point in the minds of millions."[40]
Wyeth created work in sharp contrast to abstraction, which gained currency in American art and critical thinking in the middle of the 20th century.[40]
Museum exhibitions of Wyeth's paintings have set attendance records, but many art critics have evaluated his work less favorably. Peter Schjeldahl, art critic for The Village Voice, derided his paintings as "Formulaic stuff, not very effective even as illustrational 'realism'."[42] Some found Wyeth's art of rural subject matter tired and oversweet.[40]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ab7bv55yzongtvttxzayenmv/bafkreifuicgwk6dnoegin254tb7hnqbyaitrzvlicsoigl7tjs3ecl4se4@jpeg)

![Reception and history
Christina's World was first exhibited at the Macbeth Gallery in Manhattan in 1948.[7] It received little attention from critics at the time, but Alfred Barr, the founding director of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), bought the painting for $1,800 (equivalent to $18,200 in 2023 dollars). He promoted it at MoMA, and it gradually grew in popularity. Today, it is considered an icon of American art and is rarely loaned out by the museum.[8][9]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ab7bv55yzongtvttxzayenmv/bafkreidqtrwq7p7gxeevwr7disgjuynhnmx5axeqhhvrhndwnqevwaqlja@jpeg)
