I feel like we’re missing a ripe opportunity to talk about the choice of art in Sellars’ office.
Initially they are some impossibly large Francis Bacon paintings - understandably enough as his work tends to elicit the madness of man in the machine age. But post-Murphy flambé the art switches to some work by Montreal-based Jon Rafman’s The New Age Demanded series.
While evocative, I can’t help but think that who ever made the selections could have chosen pieces that felt far more appropriate than the rather boring, flat works we see in the movie.
