The Visual Art of Orson Welles (Who knew?!!??)

Print blew me into the weeds with this post on March 4, 2015.

"This coming May marks the 100th anniversary the birth of iconoclast director, writer, actor Orson Welles. In celebration, the Sedona International Film Festival in Arizona has dedicated itself to Welles, beginning in late February. The festival features screenings of his classic films, including “Touch of Evil,” “Othello” and of course “Citizen Kane,” ranked number one in the American Film Institute’s poll of film industry artists and leaders in 1998, and with a rare 100% positive rating at Rotten Tomatoes. Of particular interest is an exhibit of his artwork: costume and set designs, caricatures, oil paintings and illustrations. Little of this work has been available to the public prior."
