Understanding Modern Art 


Stephan: What’s that? 


Livia: It’s my latest artwork. It’s experimental. 


Stephan: It’s, um... 


Livia: Abstract. It’s part of a performance art piece I’m putting together. It’ll really challenge people’s perceptions of reality. 


Stephan: I don’t really understand contemporary art. Is it supposed to represent something? 


Livia: It’s my interpretation 1 of how the rich oppress the poor. 


Stephan: Really? 


Livia: Yes, from a postmodern perspective. 


Stephan: Oh, I see. 


Livia: You do? 


Stephan: No, not really. I don’t think I’m cut out for modern art. I prefer art to be representational. I just can’t wrap my head around this. 


Livia: That’s the point. It’s supposed to challenge you and make you think. 


Stephan: Well, it’s certainly made me think. 


Livia: It has? 


Stephan: Yeah, it’s made me realize that I’ve underrated paint-by-numbers all these years.
