DESCRIPTION:
An interesting portrayal of the "dumb" painter, flailing around on his Ab-Ex type painting, which he hopes his landlord (calling on the phone) will accept for the back rent. There is a poster of The Birthday Party's (Nick Cave's early band) first single on the wall. Compare with the painting sequence from Tony Hancock's "The Rebel"--http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gs73aPdYvnE&feature=youtu.be
