Two strangers at a gallery are discussing a Picasso painting.
Art lover #1: He is one of the most powerful painters of all time.
Art lover #2: You think so?
Art lover #1: Absolutely, his use of shapes and color really make the picture come alive.
Art lover #2: It has so much texture, like it’s three dimensional.
Art lover #1: His passion for life is obvious from his work.
Art lover #2: I think he was in a lot of pain. Look at the way he painted faces.
Art lover #1: They do look pained. But that’s what makes it so powerful. The painting is staring at you.
Art lover #2: Almost like it’s asking for something, like it wants to be released from the canvas.
Art lover #1: Incredible. You are a wonderful observer.
Art lover #2: Thank you. I have always loved all kinds of art, but painting and photography are my favorites.
Art lover #1: I prefer sculpture. Have you seen the Rodin down this hall?
Art lover #2: No, I haven’t yet.
Art lover #1: Come, I’ll show you. It’s so lifelike you feel like you can shake hands with him.
Art lover #2: Great, let’s go!

Two sisters are at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
Linda: I am so glad to have the afternoon off to spend with you Carol!
Carol: Oh, me too! Thanks for meeting me here. I haven’t been here for a while.
Linda: It was a great idea. Which floor should we start on first? (Looking at the map)
Carol: I always love to start from the old and go to the new. Let’s check out the Egyptian Art exhibits first.
Linda: Cool, I love Egyptian art, especially the mummies.
Carol: Me too!
Linda: Then we can go to the third floor, it has Renaissance art.
Carol: On the way down, on the second floor are the impressionists. Manet is my favorite.
Linda: Sounds like a plan, but do you know what?
Carol: Huh?
Linda: I’m feeling a little bit peckish – how about a snack in the café first?
Carol: Sure! The mummy sure isn’t going anywhere!
Linda: Come on, let’s go!
