Silent Stars II
︎ ︎ See all 21 paintings
A series of twenty-one paintings depicting silent film actors whose careers declined with the arrival of sound cinema.
Made for the exhibition Remember My Name, the works were inspired by performers who struggled to adapt to a new era of filmmaking. I was drawn to the melancholy of their stories, and to the way even the most celebrated public figures can gradually fade from view.
Medium: Canvas board, acrylic paint
Size: Set of 21 paintings, each 6 × 4 inches
