Modern Art

Last monday, me and my friend went to Mac Donalds for snacks(or lunch?). Near to our seat there was a painting, hanging on the wall. I did not understand anything in that painting and told my friend that I did not get anything in that painting and asked him whether he gets anything. He said, "me too". happadaaa, enakku mattum thaan puriyalainnu nenachean. and he said," but that is modern art, you will not understand it". Stop, stop, stop.... I have been said the same thing alway about modern art. "if you dont understand some paintings, then it is called modern art". I got one good explanation from another friend who is very much interested in painting. He gave a definition of "modern art": a picture that conveys a message. Oh, thats the reason why everyone stare at some paintings and try to find what the artist is trying to convey. nammalakku straightaa sonnale sariya puriyathu.. ithule hidden message veraya, kilinjichchu!!

the following is one of such modern arts taken from an Aquarium centre, Boston.



seri, irunthaalum freeya vida manasu illai, I want to interpret atleast one modern art properly. For that I have to learn modern art. The best way to learn a language is to speak it. I thought the same should be applicable for modern art as well. Hence, I took my mspaint and broke my head to draw some picture which conveys some message. the result is:



Can you guess what the above picture conveys? If you are not patient enough for guess, then proceed further without guesses..





in Tamil:

"vaazhkaingurathu oru vattam,
athula jeykkuravan thoppan,
thoppavan jeyppan..."

in English;

Life is a circle(/cycle) of success and failure.

Hope I will able to interpret modern Arts in future.
