Perspective

The Artist installs his Art Piece.

It’s a nart piece.

Art for cockeyed people.

This way, the angles and symmetry become the art.

Turn the frame!

Now to turn on the 45-degree floor-tipper… [clickwhirrbangsnap] Perfect!

Perhaps he hears a different drummer.

Or a song by Mike Nesmith.

Feel better now?

Must be a woke frame. Surely there is some bizarre minuscule victim group somewhere that it is being supportive of.

Angles and Devils.

I had an idea to show someone looking at a painting of a boat on the water that was hung slightly crooked. He’d straighten it, whereupon all the water would spill out the side of the frame.

Just couldn’t shake the feeling that I’d already seen the gag done. Probably by Ernie Kovacs as his “Eugene” character.

It was paint-by-numbers but clever framing made it ART!

Thinking outside the xob.
