Overview Market Data Discussion

Description

Once a celebrated painter, Paul McKenzie has suffered a breakdown and now produces canvases of seemingly impossible scenes - summer in the middle of winter, sun beside snow. Superman quietly engineers real-world situations that mirror each painting, hoping to help McKenzie believe in his work again.
