So Walter Stanley Keane was a famous American painter in the 50’s and 60’s. He created these paintings of big eyed people that were referred to as Waifs. You see a lot of this style today in the lowbrow art world. Walter Keane amassed a fortune through these paintings by licensing the paintings to made into posters, cups massed produced collectibles etc.. It later came to light that his wife Margaret Keane was actually the painter and creator of EVERYTHING. He was a fraud, Margaret eventually sued him and won a $4 Million suite. He couldnt paint a lick. Tim Burton has made a Biopic of this story called “Big Eyes” Should be a great flick when it’s released. youtu.be/2xD9uTlh5hI
