Mark Stock, painter known for butler series, dies - At the time of his death, Mr. Stock was preparing for a major gallery show scheduled to open May 1 at Modernism in San Francisco. The show is in celebration of the silver anniversary of Mr. Stock's most famous painting, "The Butler's in Love - Absinthe." A portrait of a man with slicked-back hair staring at an absinthe glass smudged with lipstick, the painting hangs over the piano at Bix, a San Francisco restaurant, where it has been since April 17, 1989. "The Butler's in Love" has been used in movies and was the subject of its own short film, made by David Arquette. - SF Chronicle
