remember me? it’s danielle from the jealous curator! i’ve been away for awhile, but i’m finally back, and boy oh boy i am soooo excited about this new series. yes, i’m buying art for some very interesting clients – the totally fictitious kind! first up, one of my most favorite movie characters, margot tenenbaum of wes anderson’s “the royal tenenbaums”:

oh margot. so complex, so sad, and almost always in a fur coat. yes, for obvious reasons, i think she would be very drawn to these gorgeous paintings by alex kanevsky:

stunning, yes? now, given margot’s life-long love of bizarre animals {who she often wrote plays about, as a child}, i would absolutely show her this strange, narrative, hilarious work by kelly puissegur:

um, yes. we’re going to need all of those paintings. now, speaking of animals, let’s not forget her love of the museum of natural history. these are photographs of museum displays, by jason demarte, that he then overlays with a perfect amount of graphic, brightly hued dots:

so, we’ve checked off fur coats and weird animals, but i don’t think margot’s walls would be complete without a few of these addictive little paintings by vincent pacheco:

yep. wrap ’em up – i’ll take all three. and finally, when i started thinking about my totally fictitious client i just knew that we’d have to get a few pieces by alexandra levasseur. beautiful girls, surrounded by florals, who seem to be a little bit broken – i thought margot would identify:

sigh – lovely, and sad. just like margot tenenbaum.

well, i hope she likes my choices. i’ll be back in two weeks with a collection for another completely fictional character – if you have a favorite, let me know!
