Cinema Still Life: Speaking of Art...



Edward G. Robinson poses with three paintings from his personal collection. Hanging on the wall is a painting by Georges Rouault, on the couch by his side a painting by Pierre Bonnard, and on the floor a painting by Édouard Vuillard. Due to financial problems Robinson had to sell most of his collection in 1957 but these and eleven others stayed with him. I'm pretty sure the dog stayed too.

And I bet he looked at them more than once.
