ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Hollywood ("Hollywood") covers a classic, again. Oedipus written in 429 BCE by Sophocles tells of son who kills father. In motion-picture not one but two father-figures are killed. Murray Franklin and Thomas Wayne, as well as other tyrants. Joker dancing down steps has nothing to do with Eisenstein's Potemkin Odessa-steps, has it? Joker's joke is that society he/we live in is more insane/uncivil than him. In painting "happy" mask is transparent, as is sad face behind it. Society obtrudes. A cool $Billion made from covering Classics (literature, cinema). Tongue-in-cheek. Any other ironies? Enjoy painting. It's good enough. Buy it if you will.
