one busy day at a contemporary art museum
the crowds have come to gawk and ogle.
they are talking of technique and colors.
he came too but his brows knit into a frown.
why, they have hung the picture upside down.

The artwork is a copy of Mondrian's "Composition with Red, Blue and Yellow" (1930)
Happy Holidays, Friends!

I love it! My kids were homeschooled, and we studied an artist a month. One was Mondrian, and they did their own styled after his with construction paper strips and shapes.
Your poem reminds me of an Arthur (the aardvark, a kids' show on PBS) where Binky notices a painting is hung wrong, but no one believes him, because he's the "stupid" kid. Finally the artist confirmed it.
Perfect. I smiled and tilted my head!
This is perfect, from intro to poem to final quote, just perfect. I laughed so loud, my husband came to check that all was well. Then I showed him, and he began to laugh. Don't you just love it when fun poetry gets contagious?
This is wonderful fun!!! And I love your sketch!!!
My exact response to abstract and some contemporary art! I enjoyed the post. Blessings on you and yours this holiday season!
Yep...it would be hard to tell the difference....Merry Christmas DSnake !
My, how cynical you are!
Lisa,
it's great that your children studied an artist a month. i wished i could have gone on to study art when i was younger, but such are the pressures of a working world.
i was fascinated by Mondrian's shapes and his use of primary colors.
i have not seen that kids' show, but it certainly reminds you of this poem. 😀
colleen,
haha! 😁
Magaly,
so it is a contagious poem? 😁
i have to slap a warning label on it.
Helen,
Thank you! 😀
Beverly,
Ah, yes! They have to put a "This Side Up" label on the back. 😁
I have always enjoyed reading your poetry this year, thank you for it.
Happy Holidays to you and your family!

Rosemary, guess i have been a bad boy this year?
That made me smile!!! Happy holidays!
Thank you, Thotpurge!
Happy Holidays! :)
Good one. I am smiling.
Thank you, purplepeninportland ! 😁
They have indeed hung it upsidedown. It is always wise as an artist to check before the exhibition opens!
Robin,
😁
the artist thinks that this is the gallery's job.
I feel like that about most, so-called, modern art.
Does it matter which way it's hung?!
I think it does. We have to respect the artist and his/her art.
thanks for the visit to my blog! :)
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family! :-)
