\"Dawn<\/a>
\nDawn<\/strong> (1990) by the Norwegian painter Odd Nerdrum (1944).
\nThis painting has always fascinated me since I saw it in the film The Cell (2000) by Tarsem Singh. Not the painting, but the painting-coming-to-life in a very surrealistic and eery scene<\/a> in the film. It is said that Singh once saw the canvas at David Bowie\u2019s house who bought the piece in 1990, and then used it in his debut film.<\/p>\n

\"Dawn<\/a><\/p>\n

I always thought that Bowie made a reference to this painting as well in his video of Jump They Say<\/strong> (1992), directed by Mark Romanek, where we also see three similar looking ladies acting kinda weird, but perhaps that\u2019s a stretch, \u2018cause these women are also an homage to the stewardesses in the Pan-Am space plane in Kubrick\u2019s 2001: A Space Odyssey.<\/p>\n

\"Jump<\/a>
\nWhen Bowie passed away this year, the painting was displayed and auctioned at Sotheby\u2019s in London and I was fortunate enough to have had a long and very extensive close look at the canvas. I don\u2019t know who bought the painting for 341.000 punds (425.000 dollars), but I sure as hell hope I can see it again once in a museum. It\u2019s such an amazing piece of work that raises hundreds of questions, like any good work of art should.<\/p>\n
