10 Reasons Why You Should Own
"The
Walrus and the Carpenter"
- You can separate the wheat from the chaff of your friends by determining who amongst them knows the source of the title reference.
- To ensure that you yourself are in the wheat category, google the Lewis Carroll poem of the same name from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There (1872).
- You will be perceived not only as an aficionado/aficionada of contemporary art, but also a supporter of the classics.
- As you live with this painting you will see news things in it and feel new ways about it.
- In awkward moments of silence around the dinner table you can thrust
an index finger toward the orangey-yellow upper portion of the painting
and exclaim,
The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright--
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night. - You can spend many idle moments contemplating why Valorie would superimpose a grid upon a glorious sun filled (top) afternoon by the sea (middle) along a rocky shore (bottom).
- When desperate to entertain a bored toddler, lay this painting on the floor, grab a few Hot Wheels cars and pretend the grid lines are roads.
- This painting will increase in value.
- This painting may match your décor, especially if you’re into the retro trend of orange shag carpeting (but more especially if you are not).
- No walruses were harmed in the making of this painting.
