Les Abstract Miserables - A Little Drabble Do ya

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

I am underwhelmed.

At what?  What are you talking about now?

Look at that painting.  Even in the best tradition of abstract art, this is nothing more than ... it’s a mess.

I wonder who painted it?

I do not intend to inquire, it is obviously the work of a self-indulgent individual with delusions of talent.

Gee whiz, Illya, that’s a little harsh.

I have a particular distaste for pretentious works such as this.  The idea that someone would display this and actually assume that...

May I help you?

Uh, no... thank you.  My friend was just admiring the art.

This really cracked me up! Although I'd like to think Illya would be more inclusive in his artistic taste, I can also see him going all provincial on Napoleon, and complaining about the lack of discipline in contemporary art (as he sees it). Really clever.

Thank you and I'm glad it made you laugh. I thought the artwork was a good addition for obvious reasons ;) The mystery of who painted it...?
