Interesting - in the Knight the woman is in control, autonomous. The Wyeth is vulnerable, desperate.

And if I remember correctly, Christina was paralyzed, unable to walk. She was really vulnerable. I put the paintings together because of that. Both for the male gaze idea and also for the dates.

I know that painting because a replica was hanging on the stage at a Blue Man Group performance. 2 weeks later went to a friend's house for the first time and a copy was there.
