Sharing its art with The Pageant this weekend -- BIG EYES! Friday/Saturday and 8:20pm Sunday 2pm Monday-Thursday (1/26-29) 6pm Directed and produced by Tim Burton, BIG EYES is based on the true story of Walter Keane (Christoph Waltz), who was one of the most successful painters of the 1950s and early 1960s. The artist earned staggering notoriety by revolutionizing the commercialization and accessibility of popular art with his enigmatic paintings of waifs with big eyes. The truth would eventually be discovered though: Keanes art was actually not created by him at all, but by his wife, Margaret (Amy Adams) who is nominated for Best Actress Oscar in this role.. The Keanes, it seemed, had been living a lie that had grown to gigantic proportions. BIG EYES centers on Margarets awakening as an artist, the phenomenal success of her paintings, and her tumultuous relationship with her husband, who was catapulted to international fame while taking credit for her work.
