Citizen KeaneThe Big Lies Behind the Big Eyes

ADAM PARFREY AND CLETUS NELSON

Bay Area home. It required decades and multiple court proceedings for Margaret to finally become recognized as the true artist behind her iconic waifs.

Citizen Keane builds upon Adam Parfrey’s San Diego Reader cover story, and it includes dozens of rarely seen photographs. The Keane saga will also be featured in the Tim Burton movie Big Eyes, starring Christoph Waltz and Amy Adams.
