<p class=MsoNormal><i><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-style:italic'>Sight Unseen</span></font></i> tells
the story of an American mega-artist so successful he’s had the
obligatory profile in Vanity Fair and can claim astronomical prices for his
works sight unseen from a waiting list of wealthy patrons. In England for a
retrospective of his paintings, the artist goes into the countryside to visit
his original muse and love, whom he abandoned in his quest for the opulent life
which now devours him.<o:p></o:p></p>
