Después de retirarse de Hollywood, esta actriz norteamericana dedicó su vida a la pintura. Es artista figurativa interesada mayormente en el impresionismo. Pinta en óleo y en acuarela. Considera la pintura como «el amor de su vida» y una forma idónea de la expresión personal. Novak pinta muchos paisajes, al igual que retratos y también los elementos que le inspira la naturaleza que rodea su vida tranquila y bucólica en su rancho de Oregón. Kim Novak no es una improvisada ni «auto-didacta», estudio arte y recibió clases de reconocidos artistas como Harley Brown y Richard McKinley. Lamentablemente, un incendio en su casa (año 2000) destruyó la mayor parte de su obra. Pero volvió al caballete y comenzó de nuevo a pintar. Kim Novak nació en Chicago, Illinois, EEUU en 1933 y comenzó su carrera en el cine en 1954 con Columbia Pictures. Picnic fue su primera película (1955).

I was unaware that she was an artist. It is unfortunate the fire destroyed most of her paintings. Are you thinking of writing more about her paintings, the available one’s you can view. I am curious how you would evaluate her work.

Yes, she was a complete artist, one whose aim was always to communicate, as an actress and then a painter. Yes, I would like to see her paintings, as there are not too many online. From what I saw, I liked her style, I cannot fully define it, but that is not important. I find her paintings to be each complete in their own form/style and well painted. Thank you so much Charles and all the best to you.

Art in all its forms is a therapy for most people, and it doesn’ts surprise me one bit that many famous people like Kim Novak find solace in a world away from the bright lights of showbiz.
