On a very round plate of real porcelain an apple poses face to face with it a painter of reality vainly tries to paint the apple as it is but the apple won`t allow it the apple it has its word to say about it and several tricks in its bag of apples and there it is turning on its real plate artfully on itself blandly without budging and like a Duc de Guise who disguises himself as a gas duct because they want to draw his portrait against his will the apple disguises itself as a beautiful fruit in disguise and it`s then that the painter of reality begins to realize that all the appearances of the apple are against him and like the unfortunate pauper like the poor pauper who finds himself suddenly at the mercy of no matter what benevolent and charitable and redoubtable association of benevolence charity and redoubtability the unfortunate painter of reality then suddenly finds himself the sad prey of a numberless crowd of associations of ideas And the apple turning evokes the apple tree the earthly Paradise and Eve and then Adam a watering-can a trellis Parmentier a stairway Canadian Hesperidian Norman apples Reinette apples and Appian apples the serpent of the Tennis Court and the Oath of Apple Juice and original sin and the origins of art and Switzerland with William Tell and even Isaac Newton several times prizewinner at the Exhibition of Universal Gravitation and the dazed painter loses sight of his model and falls asleep It`s just then that Picasso who`s going by there as he goes by everywhere every day as if at home sees the apple and the plate and the painter fallen asleep What an idea to paint an apple says Picasso and Picasso eats the apple and the apple tells him Thanks and Picasso breaks the plate and goes off smiling and the painter drawn from his dreams like a tooth finds himself all alone again before his unfinished canvas with right in the midst of his shattered china the terrifying pips of reality.SourceThe script ran 0.001 seconds.
