 Green Silver by Jackson Pollock

 The roof of the main hall is decorated with a painting reminiscent of Jackson Pollock's "Green Silver", but with an empty hole in the middle, which also symbolizes the inner world of the billionaire.

Number 207 (Red over Dark Blue on Dark Gray) by Mark Rothko

 The painting "Number 207 - Red on top of Dark Blue on Dark Gray" is placed in the most prominent place - in the center of the main hall. A witty idea of the film director is that the picture was deliberately hung upside down, hinting at the personal qualities of the billionaire and his attitude to art. Number 207 is a wonderful example of Rothko's unique style: color fields in the form of rectangles and stripes, emphasizing large areas of color, applied in thin flat layers.

Untitled (Bacchus) by Cy Twombly

Cy Twombly's style is characterized by large-scale calligraphic and abstract paintings created under the influence of classical art, because the artist derived inspiration from the ancient Greek and Roman myths. Evidently, the image in Untitled is associated with the splashed red wine or blood on the walls of the room, where Bacchus worshippers could perform their rituals.

 Neoplasticism by Piet Mondrian

 The Dutch abstract painter Piet Mondrian pioneered a new trend in abstract art of using only vertical and horizontal lines, and called it Neoplasticism. He invented a term adopted worldwide but eventually, we can see application of his ideas and style only in interior design, not in visual art. The story of Miles Bron’s up and down is similar, in a way. At the same time, this very abstract painting was auctioned in autumn, 2022, and sold at $51mln, which is a record for Mondrian’s paintings.

Three Studies of George Dyer by Francis Bacon

The film also has a reference to "Three Etudes of George Dyer" by Francis Bacon. This quaint series of portraits was created when Bacon was struggling to reconcile himself with the death of his lover and muse, George Dyer, a petty criminal who committed suicide. But here, in the same style, we see the portrait of the clown Ronald McDonald, a long-time mascot of the McDonald's fast-food restaurant chain. He lives in his fictional world of McDonaldland, together with his friends Mayor McCheese, the Hamburglar, Grimace, Birdie the Early Bird and The Fry Kids. Remarkably, one of the main female characters in the film has a nickname Birdie, too.  

Many thanks for reading the article, dear art lover. Good luck with the quiz! Looking forward to photos from you!
