Figure Eight, 1952, by Franz Kline
ART
What do we see in art?
Do the pieces make a whole
Or is it only parts?
First I see the Figure Eight
Because I'm told
That's what this makes.
Then I look closer still
And see a mad man
Armed to kill.
I look again and I see
A smiling face
Looking at me.
Art imitates life they say
It's all in the perception
What's your choice today?
