MARGARET KEANE, (B. 1927), "THE BERLIN WALL," 1964, OIL ON CANVAS WITH ASSEMBLAGE OF WOOD AND BARBED WIRE, 61.75" H X 51.25" WMargaret Keane, (b. 1927) "The Berlin Wall," 1964 Oil on canvas with assemblage of wood and barbed wire Signed and dated upper left: Keane; with name plaque affixed lower center: Walter Keane 61.75" H x 51.25" W Provenance: Triton Museum of Art, Santa Clara, CA Exhibitions: Laguna Beach Art Museum, "Margaret Keane and Keaneabilia," July 30-DEcember 31, 2000 Notes: Margaret Keane is an internationally acclaimed artist, but especially known for her "big eyes" paintings. The large eyes that she painted onto her figures not only intrigued those who viewed her works, but it also spoke to them through a deeper meaning. Keane once said, ""The eyes I draw on my children are an expression of my own deepest feelings. Eyes are windows of the soul."One of Margaret Keane's more famous works is "The Berlin Wall," painted in 1964, three years after the Berlin Wall was built in August 1961. This painting exhibits ten small children grouped on the other side of a wall and barbed wire. Keane is placing the viewer not only on the opposite side of the wall from the children, but the most striking part of this work is the children's big eyes looking directly at the viewer. It is haunting yet one of her most compelling images. With her signature eyes and artistic style of using light, scale, and tone, she creates a piece that speaks volumes about the current political state at the time through her artistic value. Originally signed by Walter Keane. His name was painted out by Margaret Keane after the trial of 1985. This painting was featured in the Travel Channel series, Mysteries at the Museum, series 11, episode 10: "Big Eyes and More" October 20, 2016 This lot is accompanied by a set of Margaret Keane Books. "MDH Margaret Keane," by Elton Fiscus-Powell and Johnson Meyers, and "Walter Keane," by Eric Shneider and Johnson Meyers. Oil on canvas with assemblage of wood and barbed wire Dimensions: 61.75" H x 51.25" W Provenance: Triton Museum of Art, Santa Clara, CA

LITERATURE
The New York Times , "Two Soviet Emigres Whose Art Is Overlaid with Irony," January 29, 1984, section 2, p. 25 (illustrated)
LOT NOTES
The present work is closely related to the 1986 Stalin Monument at The Hague, featuring an oversize bust of the Soviet dictator enclosed in a phone booth. The sculpture also makes an appearance in the artists' 1982-1983 painting Natasha with Bust of Stalin (part of a series heavily influenced by the Stalinist Empire style and the aesthetics of Georges de La Tour), which pictures a nude woman seated in the dark, as if in prayer, holding up a candlestick to illuminate Stalin's features.
CONDITION
Beyond some surface dirt and a nick to the center of the right cheek, the sculpture appears in excellent original condition with no issues to report.
