Andrew WYETH - Christina's world
La femme qui a inspiré la peinture est Christina Olson, la voisine de l'artiste à Cushing, dans l'État du Maine. Paralysée des jambes, il semble qu'elle souffrait non de poliomyélite, comme on l'a cru longtemps, mais d'une forme de polyneuropathie appelée maladie de Charcot-Marie-Tooth, comme l'a montré en 2016 le Pr Marc Patterson. La maison représentée est celle de la famille Olson et le modèle est la femme du peintre. La peinture, conservée au Museum of Modern Art de New York, constitue l'une des plus célèbres réalisations de la peinture américaine du xxe siècle.

Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don't understand

I just wanna feel
Real love feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste
I don't wanna die
But I ain't keen on living either
Before I fall in love
I'm preparing to leave her

Scare myself to death
That's why I keep on running
Before I've arrived
I can see myself coming

I just wanna feel
Real love feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste
And I need to feel
Real love and the love ever after
I cannot get enough

I just wanna feel
Real love feel the home that I live in
I got too much love
Running through my veins
To go to waste

I just wanna feel
Real love and the love ever after
There's a hole in my soul
You can see it in my face
It's a real big place
Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
