Rustynuts Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 A couple attending an art exhibition at the national gallery,were staring at a portrait that had them totally confused. The painting showed three black men totally naked sitting on a park bench.The two men on the outside had black penis’ but the one in the middle had a pink penis. The curator of the gallery realised that the couple were having trouble interpreting the painting and offered his assistance in helping them understand what it was about.He went on and on for about a half an hour about how it depicted the sexual emasculation of African Americans in a predominately white society. The curator went on to say how some people believe the pink penis reflects the cultural and social oppression expressed by gay men,in a contemporary society. After the curator left,a Scotsman approached the couple and asked them if the wanted to know what the painting was really about.The couple asked the Scotsman how he would know more about it than the curator,to which he replied that’s because I painted it. In fact there is no African American representation at all in the painting, it’s just three Scottish coal miners and the guy in the middle went home for lunch!!!
