...thought of her, insofar as I saw her - and when it comes to the character, I'm not a particularly visual writer in that I never see their faces, though I do see their general presence - as comfortably padded, well-padded. And that's where I came up with the expression "traditionally built." It sort of flowed from a discussion she had about traditional notions of beauty in Africa, which would tend to celebrate fleshiness. It indicates that she's not going to be swayed by passing fashion. Her build is traditional. It shows that she is comfortable with herself...
...time in his series of paintings from the 1950s that were drawn from the great Velázquez portrait of Pope Innocent X. Flickering white perimeters form a cage for the Pontiff's impotent fury. Why a Pope? With Bacon there's never one answer. His great gift was for visual and psychological conflation, for compressing multiple possibilities into a single sliding form. Trapped in a kind of isolation booth, where a thunderstorm of granular black strokes rains down on him, the screaming Pope in Head VI suggests the baying, baboon madness of authority.

...entire set of cigarette boxing cards, equivalent to modern-day trading cards.

The script by Susannah Grant (Erin Brockovich) is smart, witty and lean. Wright's principal indulgences are visual, as in his 2007 film Atonement. He turns a neighborhood bar where a depressed Lopez pounds shots into something that glows like the inside of a vein, and makes Skid Row into a Hieronymus Bosch painting with grocery carts (using some of LA's estimated 60,000 homeless as extras...
...Without direct experience in the awful second language of mental illness, one cannot say whether the translation is in fact, accurate, but Wright's visual representations of schizophrenia are searing. Teenage Ayers watches a burning car drive by and we assume it is the symptom of a rough neighborhood, but as it glides past with eerie smoothness, it is revealed to be hallucination...
