[00:20.96]I am an art student and I paint a lot of pictures. [00:26.64]Many people pretend that they understand modern art. [00:32.21]They always tell you what a picture is 'about'. [00:36.69]Of course, many pictures are not 'about' anything. [00:41.99]They are just pretty patterns. [00:45.90]We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material. [00:52.56]I think that young children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else. [01:00.74]They notice more. [01:03.10]My sister is only seven, [01:06.36]but she always tells me whether my pictures are good or not. [01:11.59]She came into my room yesterday. [01:15.37]'What are you doing?' she asked. [01:19.73]'I'm hanging this picture on the wall,' I answered. 'It's a new one. Do you like it?' [01:27.89]She looked at it critically for a moment. [01:31.34]'It's all right,' she said, 'but isn't it upside down?' [01:39.95]I looked at it again. [01:41.99]She was right! It was!
