"Seize the Day" by Robert Natkin Framed Poster Print

Condition Notes: In overall good previously owned condition with minor damage to print in one area. This print is part of the "Hitchcock Series." Ever since his weekly trips to the movie theatre as a young child, Natkin has been a cinema devotee. His Hitchcock series is a visual homage to the late director. Natkin has long been a fan of Hitchcock’s films which, despite their entertaining surface plots, teem with darker undertones and contradictions. As the artist points out, the director succeeds, despite the playfulness of his films, to depict and romanticize man’s more somber side. Like Hitchcock, Natkin likes to interlock pleasure–and beauty–with mystery and paradox. - Leda Natkin Nelis (From Robert Natkin, A Retrospective: 1952-1996.
