This is a portrait of the Great Actor Kirk Douglas, Here I have portrayed him in the part he played as 'Rolf Pederson' who was a Physicist working with the Danish (I believe) Resistance at the time of the Nazi occupation of Scandinavia.In the movie entitled 'The Heroes of Telemark'. In reality a team of them were succesful in destroying the factory where the Nazis were close to being able to produce Nuclear weapons, hence the image of Cadmium which was the basis of 'Heavy Water'.The backdrop represents a nuclear blast. I stuck the Oscar on as I thought Kirk was more than deserving of it.
