It is All About Interpretation


This famous piece of modern art is attributed to an amateur painter, Jakob Theigissi. Jakob Theigissi was supposed to be an obscure director of pornography. Despite his excellence in the "Lower" arts he really thirsted for recognition at a higher plane. This piece in his own words represents the "... storm and confusion of youth. The inability of the young to focus, you start on something but get derailed..."

My interpretation: It seems as if the painter couldn't control his movements. Therefore, this painting represents the uncontrollable madness, the struggle between inherent internal chaos and societal requirement for order and conformity.

What is yours?

When you buy a new ball-point pen, what do you do? You draw a perfect electrocardiogram on a piece of paper to check if it writes.
Theigissi, to me, appears to have checked his new brushes dipped in two different paint shades.

I think the painter was drunk. He couldn't control his movements henceforth.

I think your new template is a crack. And so was the painter, in the non-IITM sense of the word :P

@Ducku

Thanks for the Template. Ditto on the painter :)

Basically, Jakob Theighissi re-arranges to 'This is a bog joke'. :P

Slisha should have worked harder. Really doubt if any of the quiz boys fell for it!

I think he was holding a brush while he was having sex, and whatever came out of that, the result of it is this piece of art

But seriously, 'struggle between inherent internal chaos and societal requirement for order and conformity', is PHENOMENAL! ROFLMAO!!!

@chintu

nice thought. But why would anyone want to paint while doing 'it'?!
