“There is nothing more dreadful than imagination without taste.”

- Johan Wolfgang von Goethe

---

“Wrong, wrong, wrong,” he says and you can’t help but be irritated; the piece isn’t beautiful, but it’s honest and he with his hoity toity sensibilities sees only a wasted canvas.

You look at his clenched fists and, his twisted fingers and think, ‘perspective,’. Perspective creates truth, and as his perspective is different than yours, so is his truth. So you smile at him, but you don’t say anything, you understand that he thinks differently than you, but you’re still angry all the same.

One day you think, you’ll paint a picture without perspective and it will be honest; and then you scoff at the ridiculous idea, you can’t draw something without perspective because reality is from the perspective.

So you turn away from the man and satisfy yourself with painting something else that he will find ‘wrong, wrong, wrong.’
