“What Visions Burn” is an amazing animated 3-minute short art film by the painter Ezra Johnson, which tells the story of a pair of cunning art thieves in New York City. It portrays their audacious $100 million museum art heist and its aftermath, in which Johnson intertwines content with style for a unique take on the robber-film genre. Johnson paints and repaints his canvases to create each frame of the film, providing a rich visual texture and continuity. He uses the medium of painting to make a film about stolen paintings, and interjects newspaper headlines, made from newsprint collages, into the action.

This piece presents a number of colorful illustrations, as well as the remarkable short art film.
