Update on Mrs. Kubrick's Website
Peter Tonguette
As was previously reported by Katharina, it looks like Mrs. Kubrick will be
setting up a website soon to showcase her paintings; there's a link off of the
EWS web page, but here's the exact address: http://www.christianekubrick.net
Great news, just thought I'd pass it along for those who haven't seen it yet.

Speaking of Mrs. Kubrick's art, has there been any discussion of exactly
which paintings in EWS are hers and which were painted by Mrs. Hobbs? I
assume that the large paintings in Bill and Alice's apartment were Mrs. K's.
And what about the Surrealist-style painting in Bill's office, which, as I
remember, shows a figure looking down a long street with something vaguely
menacing in the distance (appropriate to Bill's ordeal); it reminds me a bit
of de Chirico's work.

Could very well be, Ich. I imagine KCKH will probably post something about the
new site once it is up and running, though. I remember Boaz mentioning that he
once had a book of Mrs. Kubrick's paintings, although I've never been able to
find this and so my viewing of her work so far has been unfortunately limited
to freeze frames on my DVD of ACO!

If I had whole-heartedly meant such remarks, that perhaps they would be

Now here, despite what he might reply, readers, is an elitist. He claims to
know what the "regulars" think about my posts , and that "the group" is
ignoring/isolatime me. That is elitism, pure and simple.

That's right, you communist. God damn that freedom of expression on the

You must really be what the kids call a "tard" judging by the way you express
yourself. Awkward sentence construction and screwy metaphors. You must be

What the fuck is "isolatime"? For your information, I'm in contact with many
regulars on the group. Since I correspond with others in AMK, I, therefore,
know their minds. "It's simple to understand." And come to think of it
calling me an elitist is really a compliment in the strictest sense of the
word. Maybe it's your humor and colloquialism... I see that you want
"elitist" to have a negative connotation however, so why not call me a snob or
something worse.

past two replies to this thread-gone-wrong you have not said "the Kube." It's

I doubt you get these propoganda commercials in the UK, but here in
the states we are baraged by one that might help explain things. It
goes something like this;
A tough, serious looking, dork holds an egg up to the camera and
states; "This is your brain". He then proceeds to crack it and drip
the contents into a pan of sizzling grease. You then hear the
splattering sounds...
He then states "This is your brain on drugs".
This of course is supposed to keep the kiddies in the US off drugs.
Apparently it back-fired.

Fish-task, indeed. Fish tank! And also it seemed as if Stanley Kubrick
had one of CK's paintings in front of him in this portrait. She does
paintings within paintings, it's interesting.

The painting is called, simply, "Stanley." It shows Kubrick seated in
an orange chair, wearing a light blue colored jacket, which not only
contrasts and compliments the chair, but the orange-ish walls and the
light yellow curtains as well. He appears to be seated in front of an
easel, which is at the extreme lower portion of the painting and is
facing Stanley. There are two paintings propped on a shelf behind him,
one shows small plants, and it covers most of the other painting, which
looks like an outdoor scene. Kubrick partly obscures them with the
chair back. He is not exactly in the center of the painting, but
rather off to the right side. The fish tank (or task, perhaps it's a
task for the fish to swim in the tank) is at the upper right portion of
the painting. Behind and below the fish tank are two more windows, the
upper one showing what looks like two small buildings, and the lower
one showing four black birds eating what looks like bird seed in the
snow. The left half of the painting looks out a window, showing more
of the winter scene. The windows have a latch, which allows them to be
open outwards, and they have four large panes, each suggesting its own
frame. The upper left pane shows a red house and tree trunk obscured
by falling snow, the upper right pane shows more of the red house and
two small trees or shrubbery, their tops covered by the falling snow.
The lower left pane shows five black birds feeding off a small mound of
what looks like more bird seed. The lower right frame shows a lone
black bird, perched on the lower rung of a small chair, apparently
trying to shelter itself from the falling snow.
It's just one example of Christiane's talent for filling the frame with
so many details, taking what appears to be a simple approach and
putting a picture within a picture within a picture, each telling it's
own little story around the main subject.
Sounds like a certain filmmaker we all admire.
I hope those of you out in the ng can obtain your own copy of this book
sometime. I also hope some of these paintings do show up on the
website, Katharina's as well. Stanley wasn't the only artist in the
family, and I think it would help maintain the legacy of Kubrick (not
to mention this newsgroup) if Christiane and Katharina did share their
art with us as well, perhaps make them available to the public in more
commercial ventures too.
Find the book if you can, Peter. And thanks for pointing out that
painting, Genevieve. The book would make a great Christmas gift.

Thanks for your wonderful description, boaz. Journalists who thought
that Kubrick was a isolated monk of some sort - who didn't have a "life"
- should take a look at Christiane Kubrick's book. You can tell what a
rich (as in engaged, warm and comforting) family life he had, by looking
at these paintings.
One of my favorite's in CK's book (along with one in the greenhouse) is
the one of the orange plant/tree against a window with a background of
snow (and their dog "Teddy" romping in it). It's such a contrast, and
for the life of me, I don't know how she managed to paint snow like
that.
I agree with boaz; I urge everyone who likes painting and extraordinary
use of colour and still life detail, to buy this book - for its own
sake, and not just the legacy of Kubrick, although that is important
too.

Indeed -- thanks for providing the group with such a detailed description,

I will definitely try to search out a copy (Although there are a number of
great books I still have yet to check out -- Keith recommended a German book of
Stanley Kubrick's photos from LOOK magazine last September; that's also high on
my list). Hopefully, as you point out, the website will also showcase some of
Mrs. Hobbs' work as well.

Yes, I think that this image of Mr. Kubrick as some sort of strange recluse is
definitely getting a little old -- if you read the thoughts and memories of his
friends, family, and associates you get the impression not only of a great
artist -- which he certainly was -- but of a very warm and kind human being as
well. For taking the time and effort to share some of these thoughts and
memories, both through this NG and on Mrs. Kubrick's website, I cannot thank
the Kubrick family enough -- we all owe them a debt of gratitude.

(It is a very good portrait and boaz described it very well).
Do let me know if you find a copy, Peter... Portals sells it, but it's a
bit expensive to buy from them. At least the copy would be new.
But there are a number of bookstores in Chicago which might have it. Is
Powells (no relation to Portland's Powells anymore) in Hyde Park still
around? I bought several used dance and art books from them and they
were in near-new condition.

I share your sentiments there, Peter. Katharina's style differs from
her mother in that her paintings have an almost photographic naturalism
about them (e.g., "Polly," the painting of the black and white cat seen
in EWS), yet the subjects themselves go beyond what could be captured
on a camera. Her sense of intricate details within the frame rival
that of her mother. There is also, for want of a better description,
a "new ageness" in some of her other subjects that would appeal to both
adults and children. Katharina is a genuine talent (like her mother)
who would be embraced by art lovers here in the States. I also hope
her works are exhibited on the site along with Christiane's.

And to see an exhibit of a few of my photos of New York, as well as a
funny story with a Christmas theme, check out "The Honeymooners/I Only
Have Eyes For You," a parody in four unnatural acts by Boaz8741 and

And to see a rather funny cartoon that in style is nowhere near as good
as anything Christiane or Katharina could paint, check out a Christmas
message from Ichorwhip and me:

Thanks again for the help on this, Genevieve...Amazon.com has a great rare and
used book search service I've used once or twice before, so perhaps they would
be a good alternative if I'm unable to find a copy at the outlets you mention.
But I definitely will post my thoughts if I'm able to find a copy...in the
meantime, hopefully Mrs. Kubrick's new site will be up soon.

I see -- so "Polly" was one of Katharina's paintings. After a good half dozen
or so EWS viewings, I can say I am at least somewhat familiar with this
particular work! And the intricate detailing you mention is one of the most
striking aspects of the work -- even seen on celluloid!

Hopefully, as you have noted, Boaz, this site will bring more widespread
attention to both Mrs. Kubrick's and Mrs. Hobbs' work...they both sound like
very gifted artists and I, for one, look forward to seeing more examples of
their work soon.

Siddy Rushes
the book with Mrs. Kubrick's paintings directly from her for a modest
price of $25 plus postage (all copies are signed). She has created a
formular with all the necessary info on her new website that also
presents the cover of the book (and a nice photograph of herself).
Furthermore she is "currently devising an interactive computer game
involving paintings"...
Her online gallery, however, is still empty.
Here again the link:
http://www.christianekubrick.net
(We better don't start to bother her with "unserious" e-mails!)
By the way, the marvellous painting with Stanley sitting in front of a
window is (along with some more paintings that feature in ACO and EWS)
also included in the updated edition of Michel Ciment's French
"Kubrick"-book. On my EWS website I've collected some information on how
to get this book or great Kubrick Specials of French Magazines such as
"Positif" and "Les Inrockuptibles":
