MARGARET KEANE ORIGINAL OIL PAINTING (1927 – 2022) American artist known for her paintings of subjects with large 'doe' eyes. She mainly painted women, children, or animals in oil or mixed media. Her work achieved huge commercial success, largely through reproductions on prints, plates, and cups. It has been critically acclaimed but also criticized as formulaic. The artwork was originally attributed to Keane's then-husband, Walter Keane. Soon after their divorce in the 1960s, Margaret claimed credit, which was established after a court 'paint-off' in Hawaii. An original Margaret Keane oil on canvas painting depicting a young girl with a kitten cradled in her arms, 13.5 x 29.5 in. (sight), signed 'Keane' at the lower-left corner. In original (worn) partly gilded frame. Very slight surface cracking in places commensurate with age, some staining to the young lady's right sleeve and in need of a bit of cleaning, the inside edge of the frame damp stained and slightly so on the verso with no apparent effect to the painting itself, overall, very good condition.

ATTRIBUTED TO MARGARET KEANE PORTRAIT OIL PAINTING
Est: $100 - $150
Attributed to Margaret Hawkins Keane, American, 1927 to 2022, oil painting on canvas, depicting a double female portrait, 1963. Signed, dated, and copyright MDH, lower right. Framed. Margaret Keane is known for Modernist sad child figure painting, and portraiture. Margaret Keane is an American artist. She is an illustrator and painter, and mainly draws women and children in oil or mixed media. Her works are instantly recognizable from the doe eyed children that are depicted in the drawings. In the 1960s, Margaret Keanes artwork was sold under the name of her husband, Walter Keane. Her works while living in her husbands shadow tended to depict sad children in a dark setting, but after divorcing, moving to Hawaii, and becoming one of Jehovahs Witnesses, her paintings took on a happier, brighter style. Her website now advertises her work as having tears of joy or tears of happiness. Keane is a fixture in popular culture. Some of her well known fans over the years have included actresses Joan Crawford and Natalie Wood, whom she painted portraits of; filmmaker Tim Burton, who commissioned Keane to paint Lisa Marie; and animator Craig McCracken, whose characters the Powerpuff Girls are based on Keanes waifs; additionally the Girls schoolteacher is named Ms. Keane. One of a kind artwork.
