It Got Quiet

This print is part of a series of etching portraits of iconic figures which stretch back through history but include classic subjects from cinema, television and European painting. This portrait comes from the Neo-Noir film Chinatown, set in 1937 Los Angeles and Directed by Roman Polanski.

The hard-bitten lead character (depicted) runs the gamut of crooked cops and gangster goons but needle on his moral compass, through a maze of corruption only wobbles occasionally. Characters like this one could just as easily have come from the pens of Homer or Shakespeare as from the gritty work of Raymond Chandler or Dashiel Hammett.
