The woman in this painting is Elizabeth Short, a Hollywood starlet that was brutally murdered in 1947 and dubbed by the press “The Black Dahlia.” The background of this piece is based on images of Hollywood in the 1930’s. The man who killed her is unknown to this day– in my painting, the arm of an unknown man leads Elizabeth away from the center of the canvas.
