The Empty Canvas
New York: Embassy Pictures, 1964. Three vintage studio still photographs from the American release of the 1963 Italian film, all three featuring actors Catherine Spaak and Horst Buchholz.
From the collection of artist and author Duncan Hannah.
Duncan Hannah was a key figure in the burgeoning New York underground arts scene, befriending Andy Warhol and his superstars, Lou Reed, Allen Ginsberg, Patti Smith, Salvador Dali, and many others. A graduate of the Parsons School of Design, his paintings were exhibited in the influential 1980 Times Square Show alongside work by Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and several of his paintings are held in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Based on Alberto Moravia's 1960 novel "La noia." A talentless painter from a wealthy family drowns his disappointment in his lack of artistry in a passionate relationship with a free-spirited model.
Shot on location in Rome.
10 x 8 inches. Near Fine.
