Teacher, what i$ Art?

WV1990/2024

 

She stood next to me and said

What do you think of this painting?

I looked at her, this was suspicious

I never expected this question

 

There was Picasso, Mondriaan and Vermeer

Expensive things, intense atmosphere

Striking colours, immense splendor

Her shuffling was suspicious

 

What is art?

What is art?

That look in her eyes, that is art

What is art?

What is art?

 

The robbery of the century is so close

Police on your heels, look at me!

I am the hero of half the country

This boy has burned boring art

 

The most expensive collection of the century

The guide tells me again and again and I yawn

Next to me is a beautiful statue

A prize is for the thief who steals her
