Naked City
"Portrait of a Painter," 1962
In this psychological thriller episode of my favorite film noir police procedural, a painter awakens to discover his wife has been murdered in his studio. Also, there's an added bonus: the painter is played by William Shatner. There are eight million stories in the naked city, and I am not going to spoil the end of this one for you.
The Addams Family
Morticia takes up sculpture as a way to end her boredom. But will anyone buy her abstract monstrosities?
And finally, I am showing part of Ghostbusters II because its central conflict is between an evil painting and a good statue.
Last year, I read a study which claimed that fear makes abstract art "more engaging." This year, I will put that theory to the test.
