Armed Robbery at Museum

Armed Robbery at Museum

An artwork valued at $1.1m (£675,000) and entitled Olympia by the surrealist painter Rene Magritte has been stolen this morning during a daylight robbery at a museum in Belgium. The nude portrait was stolen from the artist's former home in Jette, a museum dedicated to Magritte's life and work.

Although entry to the museum is by appointment only, two armed men forced their way into the building and ordered staff to lie on the floor while they made off with the painting. No shots were fired. The painting depicts the painter's wife, Georgette, lying on her back with a shell on her stomach.

Electric Blue Urban Art Modern Original Abstract Painting FRAMED PMILLER

I love the mix of modern and older styles of architecture that you find in cities. I especially like to think of the people that live and work there when I paint cityscapes. When I painted this piece, "Electric ...Blue" I was imaging all the people in the little clubs dancing and drinking, making connections, while the business people in the large skyscrappers prepare for their next working day as "Masters of Wealth, Technology and Politics".

Bridge Across Time Listing




Inspiration: Inspiration Series Collection - This series is inspired by Patrick, a young talented artist who was taken from this world at a tender age. His family asked Pam to create a series based on his sketches. In the beginning of her inspiration series, she combined her love of science with elements from his sketches. However, Patrick favored very traditional cubism with geometric twists and simple surreal landscapes and Pam quickly began to pull away making the series more her own. She uses two approaches to the paintings in this series. One is impressionistic landscapes with her own brand of figures in a cubism style. The second is using her cubism figures in a very futuristic surreal landscape with swirls and strange moons. All of her paintings are ready to hang. She uses quality framing and mats for this series. If you wish to purchase the piece without the framing, please contact us for a price quote.
