Walter Keane Big Eyes Hand Signed 1962 Print “Rejected” Margaret Lithograph Original

KeaneFeaturing an original lithograph of Walter Keane’s oil painting “Rejected”, published by Tomorrow’s Master Series, Japan in 1962.  One of the iconic mid-century images of vulnerable waifs with enormous eyes. Hand signed in ink under the image, as well as inside the print by Walter, but the recent movie BIG EYES suggests that most of his works were actually done by his wife Margaret. Interesting part of art history!
Details:

  • Image size 11-1/4″ x 5-1/2″, paper overall size 14-1/4″ x 11-7/8″.
  • Image is intact and excellent color; the page itself has some ripples which will be smoothed out when framed under glass.
  • Part of a group of Keane art we obtained, all of them were stored in a way that the lower right corners are creased in the wide margin, and the page itself needs to be smoothed down. When matted and framed, this will present very well.
