Not nearly enough. I knew there was a reason I don't put up Abstract in my gallery. I told you about the kid Raij Koiv, it was his work. Absolutely horrid...
I wish I understood the appeal. I mean, I can see how the classic guys, like Leonardo got popular. (You know, all the ninja turtles.) And I've seen some historical landscape scenes that are really awesome. Like, those ones that are made up of bits of real places and all put together with dramatic lighting and weather and are really, really huge? There's probably a name for it.
But a painting that doesn't look like anything and is just a big old mess? Or is just squares? Why do people like that? I'm sorry, but if you don't have to have skill to produce it, it's not that interesting. Maybe that's the craftsman in me.
A two year old can splatter paint on a canvas and it gets tacked onto a refrigerator. A twenty year old drug addict does the same thing and gets paid thousands. A waste of art supplies, if you ask me.
Wherein I find Jackson to be over rated, in his defense, it has been found that all of his finished pieces form mathematical fractals which lends to its completeness regardless of method.
Regardless, I recommend that only bad abstract art be burned. Not all of it.
To say that would be to condemn De Kooning, Johns, and Rauschenberg just as much as contemporary art students.
I've never had a liking for the form of art, and after spending two weeks looking at it upon my gallery walls, I fear that even the good abstract art will only please me if it is on fire.
This does not mean that next week I won't agree with you.
It has only ever succeeded in giving me a headache. I cant understand the appeal.
Do you need anything done? Im bored all that needs done is to call Harrison and Im waiting until tomorrow or the day after depending on what happens then.
Nothing in particular, I'm a guy, I'm almost always hungry. I could run to the store and pick up whatever and have James whip up anything you might be be craving. Or we could go somewhere.
[Private to Millie] Absolutely, is that all you need? And is it safe to assume, with that request, we'll be staying in?

Could you pick up the customary bottle of Motrin? I've got the worst migraine and have been detained in my office.

That should be it. I have my prescriptions at home, I'll take them when I get there. There is a place at my desk already cleared off for you.

Ok, I'll be there soon. I'll run over and grab those course forms too. See you soon. Food and pain relief are on their way.
