<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 32208, member: 51&quot;]Brad, thanks for posting this whole business.&nbsp; The Big Eye phenomenon is right up my alley -- I&#039;m drawn to certain kinds of kitsch, love observing odd trends, this whole thing is so American or something. Confession: <i>I find myself wishing I had a Keane right now...</i>and not for resale, gasp!</p><p><br /></p><p>But not just a print.&nbsp; I&#039;d want an oil!&nbsp; In fairness, it would fit in w/my MCM living room nicely.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was talking about this movie and the painting prices with some girlfriends last night, thanks to this post. After hearing the back story to the art regarding the husband taking credit for the work because no one would buy art from a woman back then, the following was suggested by one of my friends.&nbsp; Maybe the big eyes, the sunken woeful eyes, often with tears coming down, the stray cats, the orphans, this was Keane manifesting her own angst about what was going on, not getting credit for her work, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp; Hmmm?</p><p><br /></p><p>Or maybe as Terry suggested, drugs.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>(And as a side note for those collectors racing out to the thrifts, it is ONLY the Keane versions that seem to be selling. Not all big-eye, just Keane.)</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
