ADAM: Right, but see, l don't know what you're referring to then. I mean, specifically... (Beat) Didn't Oscar Wilde say something like, "In art there is no such thing as a universal truth..." Or whatever?
EVELYN: Yes...very good.
"A truth in art is that whose contradictory is also true."
Right, but that's an aesthetic. I'm talking about practicalities. Censorship.

EVELYN: Okay. Ahh...sure.
(Beat) Do they allow you to do that here?
ADAM: What, eat dinner?
EVELYN: I meant hit on the patrons....
ADAM: ...ummm, no, they've got a pretty strict policy about that, too, actually. But...
EVELYN: ...ahh, the great equalizer. "But."
ADAM: Exactly. I'll take the risk....
EVELYN: ...good answer, grasshopper.

EVELYN: No, and I don't know why... we're always calling him "the creator." (Beat) Look at it, you can see the...see right behind the grapes there, you can just see his...
ADAM: ...grapes. Yes.
You're absolutely, huh.
Didn't even cover him properly. Shoddy craftmanship!
EVELYN: 1 mean, if you're gonna do it, at least....
ADAM: ...exactly. Do it right.

EVELYN: Seven or eight years ago now, I think.
Before I got here,
anyway./See, they objected to his "thing." The shape of it. Said it was too life-like.
(Beat) It's supposed to be
"god," you know...that's what pisses 'em off.
ADAM: Huh./Yeah...he's not really supposed to have one of those, is he?

EVELYN: Yes, but the leaf cluster isn't.
ADAM: It's not?/What is it, a pastie or something, like strippers have?
EVELYN: No./It's plaster...it was added by a committee who had complaints from local townspeople./Uh-huh./ They made a petition and got that put on, thereby removing its subjectivity as art.

EVELYN: Because I don't like art that isn't true.
ADAM: "True." What do you mean?
EVELYN: False art. I hate that....
(Other patrons drift past.
They watch them go.)
ADAM: No, I understand the words you've used here, although they're both pretty subjective: "art."
"Truth."
EVELYN: Exactly! That's the beauty of art...it's subjective.

Absolutely. And, would
"why" be completely out of the question here?
EVELYN: Why the "dick"?

ADAM: Paint's not really the best thing to have in a museum. People'll definitely take that the wrong way....
EVELYN: How do they know which way to take it?

is starting
EVELYN: I know./ That's why I tried it....
ADAM: Why?
EVELYN: ...to see what would happen.
— May 24, 2024 04:05PM
ADAM: Why?
EVELYN: ...to see what would happen.
It's fake, it's not real.
Therefore, false art...
ADAM: No, it's a Fornecelli, it definitely is. I read the little thingie there one time....
