There's "Vivian Maier Developed" too, a biography of her life. An enigmatic character to be sure.

If you haven't seen it it's worth seeking out the BBC Imagine documentary, "Who took nanny's photos". Better that "Finding Vivian Maier" in my opinion.

Patricia Neal. I recall how surprised I was when I first learned that she had been married to Roald Dahl. Seemed like a clash of worlds.

Apparently he wanted to wear his leather bomber jacket with the studs on the back, but the other nixed it.

Wonderful scene. Look at her fancy little shoes!

There's a proverb: "The cobbler's children have no shoes". Obviously not applicable here.

An enticing offer. And for only 3 Euros.

I love the young man with raised eyebrow and cigarette hanging from his lip. Apparently it's a self-portrait.

70s mother: Where's Johnny, he was at the playground.

70s father: Never came back. Must have taken a swing to the head.

I make this joke as someone who did actually run into a swing as a child, but I managed to make it home with a broken nose, trailing blood all the way.

It has that unreal, otherworldly quality of a Wyeth?

Oddly impressionistic when viewed full screen. Motion blur or zooming maybe.

It's delightful to linger over the image and slowly notice things; the bird in the foreground staring at the camera, the two further back who appear to be having a conversation, the flying bird lost in the waves.

Stravinsky, also 1920. Spot the difference.

It seems he liked to paint houses. Lots and lots of houses. In the snow. I wonder what he did during the summer.
