In the late 1950s and early '60s, artist Walter Keane achieves unbelievable fame and success with portraits of saucer-eyed waifs. However, no one realizes that his wife, Margaret, is the real painter behind the brush. Although Margaret is horrified to learn that Walter is passing off her work as his own, she is too meek to protest too loudly. It isn't until the Keanes' marriage comes to an end and a lawsuit follows that the truth finally comes to light.
Big Eyes is a 2014 drama film about the real-life art fraud scandal involving Margaret and Walter Keane, whose saucer-eyed paintings became a cultural phenomenon in the 1950s and '60s. The film reveals how Margaret, the true artist, was denied credit for her work until a dramatic courtroom battle exposed the truth. Now available to stream and purchase, it's a compelling look at ambition, deception, and artistic integrity.
