So Much for Impressionism By Vito S. Cianci

There is a student in

This School

Who hankers for impressionism.

She paints furiously

And wildly

And colorfully—

Very colorfully.

In fact,

She uses every color on her palette

On every picture,

And says,

“What ho, this is the life!”

One day she brought some sketches

To the Master.

The Master criticized

And corrected

And explained that Design was the whole thing.
Every picture must be beautifully and carefully
Designed.

And lo and behold, this student,

This scorner of the usual and lover of the bizarre
And scoffer of ordinary everyday Art,

Up and said,

“But I want my pictures

To look like the thing I’m painting!”

So much for Impressionism!”
