Empty chair placed next to Clint Eastwood hiking trail marker



Call it art imitating life.

The Clint Eastwood cutout overlooking the Glendale Freeway now has its empty chair -- a nod to the film director's much-talked-about appearance at the Republican National Convention last week.

Life-sized cardboard cutouts of Eastwood, John Wayne and Gene Autry have been keeping watch over Glendale for months as part of an effort by Glassell Park resident Justin Stadel to spur a conversation about public art.

But it was Eastwood’s 12-minute conversation with an empty chair for an apparently invisible President Obama that spurred an addition -- or two -- to the art display.
