Lindsay Lohan - art film muse

Lindsay Lohan - art film muse




The New York Times stated, "In 'Lindsay Lohan,' the beleaguered beauty is captured mostly in close-up, and in attitudes that artist Richard Phillips appropriated from two 1960s movie classics, Jean-Luc Godard’s 'Contempt' and Ingmar Bergman’s 'Persona.'"

In the artist's own totally unpretentious words: “Lindsay has an incredible emotional and physical presence that holds an existential vulnerability, while harnessing the power of the transcendental – the moment in transition. She was able to connect with us past all of our memory and projection, expressing our own inner eminence.”

I dunno. I usually harness the power of the transcendental for something more practical, like running my lawn mower. If you harness it completely, the transcendental can generate up to 50 horsepower!

And I don't think my own inner eminence was properly represented. Maybe if she was naked.

I think some graphic nudity would also have increased the existential vulnerability factor.
