the artist who painted kids with big eyes... can't recall his name now, but he had a brief surge of popularity maybe 30 or 40 years ago...

@ Mudpuddle: The artist was Margaret D. H. Keane (born Peggy Doris Hawkins, September 15, 1927) an American artist known for her paintings of subjects with big eyes. She mainly paints women, children, or animals in oil or mixed media.

I think to begin with her paintings were publicly acknowledged to be by her male partner at the time. There was a movie about it (not seen by me) some years ago.

I've never heard of her before, but I looked up her work and was sufficiently creeped out. Thanks for that!

..and of course this is a piccy of young Wednesday Addams played by Christina Ricci who *nailed* that role in her two Addams Family movies.
