I just watched "Play Misty for Me" starring Clint Eastwood. In the movie behind his bed is an abstract painting. I'm trying to find out who did it or where I can find a decent photo of it. Can anyone help?

Here is the painting in question. I have noticed many layers to this otherwise "silly but fun" 80's film, and the inclusion of a work of one of the masters, even a suspected lost work, fits well with the concept of a being who has lived a very long life. Although there are many other items of interest along similar lines, this ones stood out the most for me.

In Fright Night (1985) there is a large painting briefly seen just inside the door of Jarry Dandrich's (Chris Surrandon) house, seen when Charley is quickly ussured out by police after stating that Jerry is a vampire (approximately 19 and a half minutes in).

It has an appearance of a Rembrandt but I cannot confirm. Does anyone have an idea?

I am looking for information about a painting of a young girl with long red hair. My mom has this painting and has had it since the 70's. I saw the same painting in the background of the original "Footloose". It is in the scene where the family runs into the room of the girls after vandals throw a brick through the window. Just curious about the painting. Never seen it before until I watched the movie for like the 20th time. lol

I too am looking for that really large abstract painting in the movie New Moon. It's right above the table where Bella is pushed onto it by Edward in the birthday scene.

Finally, why does it matter so much HOW he died? In my opinion, what really matter is his paintings, his letter, the way he lived, his exemple (much more than simply cutting his earlobe! an artist of heart and inteligence, a true believer in the Brotherhood of Art...)

Hi Neinna,

I think the Picabia on display is a 1935 oil on panel The Acrobats and another The portrait of Gertrude. Here is what is written about these two art piece:

In the mid-1930s, Gertrude offered to help Picabia organize a show of his work at the Arts Club of Chicago,where she had lectured in 1934. Picabia responded enthusiastically: “I have just received your letter on thesubject of the exhibition. I thank you and accept with pleasure.” The resulting 1936 show, which included The Acrobats among its thirty-three works, proved to be a flop, as Picabia sold only one painting. Picabia and his wife Olga remained close to Gertrude and Alice throughout the 1930s, and even gave them two chihuahuas: Byron and his successor, Pépé.

http://www.flickriver.com/phot...

The portrait of Gertrude is based on a 1937 photograph by Cecil Beaton. That same year, Picabia wrote: “For Gertrude Stein a work of art is the intimate expression of a being’s personality, its exact projection, of the same dimensions.”

Hope this helps!

Do you happen to know the names of the Picabia paintings in the exhibit? I visited the SFMOMA during the summer and literally got chills looking at one of the Picabia paintings, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called and searches on google have been wildly unsuccessful.

I also have refused to turn my art into an every day job. I love it too much to turn it into a "job" It can be a lot of hard work to draw portraits, but its still not a job for me. Its also a passion, and a hobby I enjoy. Thanks for sharing this Cristiana, :)

I think Dali entitled his book "Diary of a Genius". Dairies have nothing to do with it, do they.

I have to say I agree with Salvador Dali, "geniuses are human beings more or less similar to the rest of the world.". As the saying goes, "the only difference between a genius and someone declared insane is the amount of their success.", however each is a genius in their own rite; I really enjoyed the article!

The most intimidating part of decorating your walls is choosing the right frame to complement both the image and your decor. Begin by choosing neutral frames in metal or wood.
