Big Eyes

Has anyone seen Big Eyes? I have and although the paintings are interesting it is quite extraordinary, the art. When I first had heard the name I thought it was going to be a weird and boring movie. Instead it made my mind more broad and think about the meaning of art. I was actually surprised the movie was based on a true story. The artist who made this happen, name is Margaret Keane. Margaret was married and had a child then divorced and remarried after relocating to San Francisco. After all the events that took place Walter Keane (her second husband) plagiarized and took credit for her work. In the end, for all the pain Walter had caused Margaret, she ended up having won justice. There is a quote by Margaret Keane and it is a favorite, it says, "Gradually it dawned on me that I was painting my own inner emotions. Those children were asking: 'Why are we here? What is life all about? Why is there sadness and injustice?' All those deep questions. Those children were sad because they didn't have the answers. They were searching." —Margaret Keane
