the painting behind them in this screenshot from Stuart little was considered to be lost forever and thought to have been destroyed by the nazis, as many other paintings by Robert Bereny were lost in WWII... however in 2009 a dude in Budapest was watching Stuart little with his daughter when he recognized this painting to be the long lost "Sleeping Lady With Black Vase" that had last been seen by the public in 1928. it took over 2 years for him to track it down but it turns out that instead of being destroyed, the painting had simply traded hands many times over until it wound up in antique shop where it eventually found its way into the hands of the set dresser for Stuart little. (and in a fortunate turn of events, after the film wrapped, she bought the painting for herself from the studio and still had it when she was contacted about it.)

I don’t think any piece of art has ever emotionally affected me the way this robot arm piece has affected me. It’s called “Can’t Help Myself” and it’s a robot arm that’s programmed to clean up the fluid that’s constantly leaking out of itself, that looked like a never ending flow of blood. It has programmed dance moves to make it appear to have human gestures. And at first, it seemed happy and proud of its job, dancing around when it had visitors. But three years later, it looks tired, hopeless, and like it’s living in a never ending cycle of constantly trying to put itself back together for the entertainment of other people. And when I found out that it had finally stopped working in 2019, essentially dying, I couldn’t help but imagine the relief it must’ve felt and so I’ve been in here crying over a robot arm. 🥺 It was programmed this way, it truly couldn’t help itself. And no one ever helped him, they just watched.
