Thinking about The Royal Tenenbaums reminded me about these painings, by Mexican artist and writer Miguel Calderon, the first two of which are on the walls of a room in one of the film's scenes. Years ago I went to a screening of the film which director Wes Anderson was at and he joked that he put the paintings - which he owns - into the film to increase their value.
Goodness knows what is supposed to be going on in the paintings, but you can't deny that they are powerful and cinematic and, well, "suggestive of story".
