Christiane Kubrick
Topper
I just came from a gallery in Chicago showing the works of Mrs. Stanley
Kubrick. A number of works were already "red-dotted" and, according to a
gallery employee, one painting was sold to "Mr. & Mrs. Tom Cruise". Most
of her paintings were in the $7k to $12k sales price.
The gallery is PORTALS LTD., 230 W. Huron St., Chicago, IL 60610. They
can be reached at 312-642-1066.
According to the gallery employee, the artist was not expected to fly to
Chicago, evidently she is as shy as her husband.
Here's the artist's bio the gallery was providing:
It is the emotional content of Christiane Kubrick's radiant, luminous
paintings that provide the nervy elegance, the disquieting edge that
lifts them far above simple representation of the observed world.
Flowers are beautiful and they resonate with mortality, budding and
burgeoning into bloom, their very opulence presaging the natural
processes of change and decay.
She works in a context which has strong affinities with the French
"intimistes", Bonnard and Vuillard. Her paintings also create and impose
patterns, at times bringing to mind the resolute, robust patternings of
Matisse and Cezanne.
Kubrick's paintings are decorative, ornamental, memorable and beautiful;
and something more. They speak of a victory, however temporary, over the
temporal. At the same time they triumphantly--and
painstakingly--celebrate the here and now.
Her art stands in the long tradition of still life and flower paintings,
of domestic genre and landscape, the landscape of the garden, where the
absolute delight initially resides in the extraordinarily succulent
range of color--hue and tone--shape, form and composition.
Life flows, objects endure. Kubrick's colors, warm and cool, radiate
light. Her paintings vibrate with life. Yet they contain also the sense
of the inevitable. Her paintings are a cornucopia of exuberance.
Christiane was born in Braunschweig, Germany, in 1932. She studied at
the Art Students League in New York and has exhibited widely in Europe
and the United States. She has three daughters and lives in England with
her husband, the film director Stanley Kubrick.

No.
Christiane's paintings were also published in book form some years
ago. Someone on this newsgroup might even have a copy they could
review.

Oh, come on! I mean, when Stanley Kubrick offers to take your
picture, you gotta be moved, surely?
And I bet he's got some pick-up lines you'd die for.

Get the feeling that both Christiane and Stanley would snicker
at the above?

I've read the paintings in the cat woman's house in ACO were
done by Kubrick's wife. But, those flat, colorless, one-dimensional
nudes seen in the film don't fit the above description of her style at
all. Have I been mis-identifying the wrong pictures all these years?

Actually: "I like [or love] the use of the color blue by the artist."

Yes, you have. The painting in the writer's home in ACO is Mrs.
Kubrick's.
Its supposed to be of the flowers in Kubrick's back yard.
The nudes in the cat woman's home were done by another artist who's
name escapes me at the moment.

A New Zealander, I believe, whose name escapes me for moments that last
whole years unfortunately...
