Jack Pumpkin Head in Return to Oz
Lichtenstein's The Healer
I found another photograph of that I love. It reminds me sooo much of a movie that came out in the late 80's called Return to Oz. There was scene where Dorothy, the scarecrow (with the large, creepy, jack-o-lantern head) and the rest of the group were in the attic, or either basement, of a house. The room contained all these old household items that I guess were being stored away. I believe they fashioned together some kind of plain out of the goods they found to get out. Well, the room that The Healer photograph was taken in reminds me of the room in Return to Oz. Due to the collection of the old things and removal of a sense of exact place and time. I can't tell where the person is at in the photograph surrounded by all those old vanities. The mystery of the setting adds to it's beauty. Its quiet lovely. I think I like is so much because it reminds me of Return to Oz, which is one of my childhood favorites.
