American artist Margaret Keane, known for her distinctive paintings of wide-eyed figures, has died aged 94.
to the Guardian in 2014,"and he was over there, talking, selling paintings, when somebody walked over to me and said: 'Do you paint too?' And I suddenly thought -- just horrible shock -- 'Is he taking credit for my paintings?'"
The works divided the art world. But while some critics dismissed them as cliché and overly kitsch, they were also praised by the likes of Andy Warhol."I think what Keane has done is terrific," the Pop artist once told Life magazine, in a quote that opened Burton's movie."If it were bad, so many people wouldn't like it."After divorcing Walter in 1965, Keane moved from California to Hawaii and began publicly taking credit for her work.
