Painter Margaret Keane created a unique, commercially popular artistic aesthetic during the 1960s, though unknown to the public for some time.
Margaret was dismayed to find that Walter was taking credit for her work. Over time he also became abusive, and Keane eventually divorced him.
She revealed herself as the creative force behind the Keane paintings in 1970 and later won a court case in which she sued her ex-husband for defamation.
The artist known as Margaret Keane was born Peggy Doris Hawkins in Nashville, Tennessee, on September 15, 1927, with some accounts listing her maiden name as Margaret Doris Hawkins. In 2014, Margaret Keane’s life was vividly dramatized in the Tim Burton movie Big Eyes, with Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz playing Walter, and Margaret portrayed by actress Amy Adams, who won a Golden Globe for the role in 2015.
Almost 200 of Keane’s original pieces were reproduced by the film’s production team, and Adams met with Keane to better understand who she is as a person and to study her creative process. Keane, for whom watching the film was an emotional experience, has seen a new wave of interest in her work since it's release. She continues to paint in her home in Napa, California, with her work presented at the Keane Eyes Gallery in San Francisco, which has been in operation since 1992.
