    The real artist of Big Eyes is Margaret Keane. Keane's paintings are recognizable by the oversized, doe-like eyes of her subjects. She said she was always interested in eyes and used to draw them in her school books. She began painting her signature "Keane eyes" when she started to create portraits of children. "Children do have big eyes,” Keane said. “When I'm doing a portrait, the eyes are the most expressive part of the face. And they just got bigger and bigger and bigger." On 1stDibs, find a range of Margaret Keane art.

    The real story behind Big Eyes is the life of artist Margaret Keane. She was born Peggy Doris Hawkins on September 15, 1927, in Nashville, Tennessee. When she was two years old, her eardrum was permanently damaged during a mastoid operation. Keane learned to watch the eyes of the person talking to her to understand them, influencing the drawings he began creating as a child. At age 10, she took classes at the Watkins Institute in Nashville. At age 18, she attended the Traphagen School of Design in New York City for a year. She initially earned money by painting clothing and baby cribs in the 1950s until she began painting portraits. Early on, Keane experimented with kitsch. She began painting her signature "Keane eyes" when she started to create portraits of children. Keane's works are now in collections all over the world, including the Museum of Contemporary Art in Madrid, the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo and the Memphis Brooks Museum in Memphis, Tennessee. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of Margaret Keane art.

    Modigliani did not paint eyes because he believed they were too intimate. He once said, "I will paint your eyes when I find your soul." This desire to know a person well before depicting their eyes is reflected in the fact that he only ever portrayed eyes when painting people that he was very close to. Explore a variety of Amedeo Modigliani art on 1stDibs.
