The big-eyed children: the extraordinary story of an epic art fraud
In the 1960s, Walter Keane was feted for his sentimental portraits that sold by the million. But in fact, his wife Margaret was the artist, working in virtual slavery to maintain his success. She tells Jon Ronson her story, now the subject of a Tim Burton biopic
Bit of a horror story. Poor woman. What an absolute psycho he must have been..
Walter Keane painted children with huge eyes throughout the 60s. He made a mint apparently. Only thing was he didnt paint them. He had his wife in a locked room 16 hours a day painting them.
