"It's called 'Two Ankles in Plaster'. What do you think?" The artist asked, expecting a positive answer.

"It just looks like a flat surface with a coupla small bumps on it. I don't see ankles, or feet for that matter, and the color is just plain white. I don't know, I guess I just don't get it."

"Well," the artist came back, getting a bit defensive, "it's really a metaphor, an allegory actually, depicting man's struggle for understanding life."

"Oh my!" The newcomer stood gazing at the work. "Fantastic! Absolute genius! The insight into the human condition, why, it's amazing!"

Very imaginative use of the prompt, too

Emperor's New Clothes! You only see it, if you are conned into believing it.

How much is Damien Hirst worth?

Clearly you CAN fool some of the people all of the time.

Good one. Mike.

Best

I never 'understand' art. I either like it, or I don't. You summed that up rather nicely Mike, well done!
