the worst feeling about trying to draw is being a mediocre artist. You realize you’re not terrible and family and friends who have can’t draw at all tell you all the time how amazing you are, but you, as the artist, have seen what amazing really is and you realize that it isn’t you.

This is painfully true.

In a time where film was delving into realism, ‘The Red Shoes’ was a adventure into surrealism that audiences weren’t expecting.

“It was, I think the first time that a painter had been given the chance to design a film, including the titles, and it was a triumph of work and organisation. Powell and Pressburger were keen to devise a new type of film decor, one less heavy and restricted, and allowed Heckroth’s imagination free reign to create a world beyond the limitations of the stage. This man of the theatre was the ideal designer for them, a surrealist romantic who was not afraid to experiment, and knew how to suggest an atmosphere with economy and an expressionist use of colour. His abstract, painted sketches were full of mood, movement and theatrical flair. For the famous ballet he disigned impressionistic sets, using materials such as chiffon, gauze, papier mache and cellophane.”

Hein Heckroth’s stunning designs for ‘The Red Shoes’ won him an Oscar for color art direction in 1948.
