EWA MONIKA ZEBROWSKI at the window online exhibition summer 2020
at the window was inspired by Betsy James Wyeth (1921-2020), by her dedication to the legacy of her husband, Andrew Wyeth, and to the Olson House, which was the setting for many of Andrew Wyeth’s paintings, including Christina’s World.
These images reflect Betsy Wyeth’s nurturing spirit, her stewardship of Wyeth’s career, and her role in the preservation of the Olson House. This historic property was the lifelong home of Christina Olson and her brother, Alvaro, and now belongs to the Farnsworth Museum in Rockland, Maine.
Wyeth expressively documented life on the isolated, saltwater farm in many of his works. He said, “In the portraits of that house, the windows are eyes or pieces of the soul almost. To me, each window is a different part of Christina’s life.”
For him, Christina and the Olson House were symbols of New England and Maine. He once remarked, “I just couldn’t stay away from there. I did other pictures while I knew them but I’d always seem to gravitate back to the house. . . . It was Maine.”
