MAN: Welcome to PAINTING WITH RUSTY SHANKS.

00:00:15,081 --> 00:00:18,585
Last week, I taught you how to paint shrubbery
6
00:00:18,585 --> 00:00:21,087
using your own head as a brush.
7
00:00:21,087 --> 00:00:22,088
That was a good show.

00:00:22,088 --> 00:00:24,090
Today, we'll take a ride
9
00:00:24,090 --> 00:00:27,093
into the wild world of modern abstract art.
10
00:00:27,093 --> 00:00:28,595
Just paint, Rusty, don't talk.
11
00:00:28,595 --> 00:00:31,598
Some people think abstract art can't be taught.
12
00:00:31,598 --> 00:00:32,599
I think that.
13
00:00:32,599 --> 00:00:33,600
Let's say you wanted
14
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,101
to express an emotion
15
00:00:35,101 --> 00:00:37,604
such as, oh, a fear of caterpillars.
16
00:00:37,604 --> 00:00:39,606
What color would you choose?
17
00:00:39,606 --> 00:00:40,607
Orange.

It's our friend, taupe.

23
00:00:45,612 --> 00:00:46,613
How do you make taupe?
24
00:00:46,613 --> 00:00:48,114
Rusty, you're killing me.

And what shape works best with taupe?
26
00:00:50,617 --> 00:00:52,118
Circle. Triangle.

28
00:00:53,119 --> 00:00:55,622
If you said octagon, you're right.
29
00:00:55,622 --> 00:00:57,624
We'll represent the octagon with a dot
30
00:00:57,624 --> 00:00:59,626
and the color taupe
31
00:00:59,626 --> 00:01:01,628
will be represented by the color orange.

00:01:01,628 --> 00:01:04,130
It's levels upon levels.

00:01:04,130 --> 00:01:05,131
I don't get art.
34
00:01:05,131 --> 00:01:08,635
Who decided a painting of a bowl of fruit is art?
35
00:01:08,635 --> 00:01:10,136
How long can you look
36
00:01:10,136 --> 00:01:11,137
at the same bowl of fruit anyway?
37
00:01:11,137 --> 00:01:13,139
At least with the actual fruit itself,
38
00:01:13,139 --> 00:01:15,141
you can rearrange the pieces once in a while.
39
00:01:15,141 --> 00:01:17,143
You can eat it if you're hungry.
40
00:01:17,143 --> 00:01:18,144
You can watch it rot.
41

But if all you have is a painting of fruit,

Actually, you can't spell "carnation" with "CARNAL."
159

00:16:21,547 --> 00:16:23,048
the Impressionists...
370
00:16:23,048 --> 00:16:24,550
the Abstracts...
371
00:16:24,550 --> 00:16:25,551
the Surrealists...
372
00:16:25,551 --> 00:16:28,053
and the Postmodernists.
373
00:16:28,053 --> 00:16:29,054
It all makes sense now.
374
00:16:29,054 --> 00:16:31,557
You're the ones who decide which paintings
375
00:16:31,557 --> 00:16:33,058
are worth $50 million
376
00:16:33,058 --> 00:16:35,561
and which ones are put on decorative plates.
377
00:16:35,561 --> 00:16:37,062
Until you came along
378
00:16:37,062 --> 00:16:39,064
with your vapid blue duck.
379
00:16:39,064 --> 00:16:41,567
You put a crimp in our business.
380
00:16:41,567 --> 00:16:45,070
Unfortunately, it would be imprudent for us
381
00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:47,573
to allow that situation to continue.
382
00:16:47,573 --> 00:16:49,575
It's too late to stop it now.
383
00:16:49,575 --> 00:16:51,577
The blue duck is everywhere.
384
00:16:51,577 --> 00:16:55,581
There is only one thing that can kill great art--
385
00:16:55,581 --> 00:16:57,082
the taint of uncoolness.
386
00:17:01,587 --> 00:17:02,588
Beg your pardon. Sorry.
387
00:17:02,588 --> 00:17:04,089
Oh, gangway.
388
00:17:04,089 --> 00:17:05,591
MAN: Sit down!
389
00:17:05,591 --> 00:17:07,092
Watch out, big load.
390
00:17:07,092 --> 00:17:08,594
Ow! Ow! Get off of me!
391
00:17:08,594 --> 00:17:11,597
That will clean right up with a little seltzer water.
392
00:17:11,597 --> 00:17:12,598
Pardon me. Pardon me.
393
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,099
You have huge feet for a woman.
394
00:17:14,099 --> 00:17:15,601
Here we go.
395
00:17:18,103 --> 00:17:20,606
Whoa, we got a babe shot on camera two.
396
00:17:22,107 --> 00:17:23,609
Okay, go to camera two.
397
00:17:23,609 --> 00:17:26,111
Did you see that?
398
00:17:26,111 --> 00:17:29,615
Whoo!
399
00:17:29,615 --> 00:17:32,117
Blue ducks rule!
400
00:17:41,126 --> 00:17:43,128
[GRUNTING]
401
00:17:46,131 --> 00:17:48,634
Ew! Ew! Ew!
402
00:17:51,136 --> 00:17:53,639
Ew! Ew! Ew!
403
00:17:53,639 --> 00:17:55,140
Hot stuff.
404
00:17:55,140 --> 00:17:56,642
[HISSING]
405
00:18:25,170 --> 00:18:27,172
I still want a phone.
406
00:18:29,675 --> 00:18:31,176
BOSS: We don't know why,
407
00:18:31,176 --> 00:18:33,679
but sales of the blue duck product line
408
00:18:33,679 --> 00:18:35,180
have taken a plunge.
409
00:18:35,180 --> 00:18:37,182
Art can be so unpredictable.
410
00:18:37,182 --> 00:18:40,686
For some reason, the blue duck is no longer "cool."
411
00:18:40,686 --> 00:18:42,187
Traditional paintings are selling
412
00:18:42,187 --> 00:18:44,189
for millions of dollars again.
413
00:18:44,189 --> 00:18:45,190
It's a crime.
414
00:18:45,190 --> 00:18:47,192
It's as if the art world were organized.
415
00:18:47,192 --> 00:18:50,195
So, Dilbert, what do you have for us next?
416
00:18:50,195 --> 00:18:52,698
Next? I hadn't really given it much thought.
417
00:18:52,698 --> 00:18:54,199
That's what I thought.
418
00:18:54,199 --> 00:18:55,200
Pay up.
419
00:18:58,203 --> 00:19:00,205
So, anyway, the marketing department
420
00:19:00,205 --> 00:19:03,208
has come up with a spin-off of the blue duck concept
421
00:19:03,208 --> 00:19:05,210
that they call...
422
00:19:05,210 --> 00:19:07,212
the light blue duck.
423
00:19:07,212 --> 00:19:09,715
But we already know the public doesn't want that.
424
00:19:09,715 --> 00:19:12,217
You're confusing the light blue duck
425
00:19:12,217 --> 00:19:14,219
with the regular blue duck.
426
00:19:14,219 --> 00:19:17,222
Not to worry, it's a common mistake.
427
00:19:17,222 --> 00:19:18,724
But don't you see, that's the point.
428
00:19:18,724 --> 00:19:20,225
They're the same thing.
429
00:19:20,225 --> 00:19:22,227
Dilbert, the key to marketing
430
00:19:22,227 --> 00:19:24,730
is doing whatever you did before
431
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,232
even when you know it won't work.
432
00:19:27,232 --> 00:19:30,235
That way, no one tries to second-guess you.
433
00:19:30,235 --> 00:19:32,237
But is that the key to art?
434
00:19:32,237 --> 00:19:34,239
Is it just a popularity contest,
435
00:19:34,239 --> 00:19:36,742
or is it the transmission of one soul's
436
00:19:36,742 --> 00:19:38,744
innermost essence to another?
437
00:19:38,744 --> 00:19:41,747
Art is meant to be an unconstrained expression
438
00:19:41,747 --> 00:19:43,248
of the inexpressible.
439
00:19:43,248 --> 00:19:45,751
It's our way of telling each other things we feel
440
00:19:45,751 --> 00:19:47,753
but are unable to put into words.
441
00:19:47,753 --> 00:19:49,254
It is ultimately
442
00:19:49,254 --> 00:19:51,757
the only real way of sharing who we really are
443
00:19:51,757 --> 00:19:53,759
with the rest of the world.
444
00:19:53,759 --> 00:19:56,261
Sorry, I lost you after "but."
445
00:19:56,261 --> 00:19:59,765
You've got some nerve talking to us that way.
446
00:19:59,765 --> 00:20:02,768
Is that Dilbert speaking or his "muse"?
447
00:20:02,768 --> 00:20:04,269
What's the difference?
448
00:20:04,269 --> 00:20:06,271
If it's you, I can belittle and ridicule you.
449
00:20:06,271 --> 00:20:07,773
If it's your muse...
450
00:20:07,773 --> 00:20:10,275
I'll have to look it up and see what it actually means.
451
00:20:10,275 --> 00:20:11,276
It's my muse.
452
00:20:11,276 --> 00:20:13,278
Damn.
453
00:20:29,294 --> 00:20:32,798
I guess I just don't get it.
454
00:20:32,798 --> 00:20:34,299
It's all about branding.
455
00:20:34,299 --> 00:20:36,301
Do people really know good from bad?
456
00:20:36,301 --> 00:20:37,302
Of course not,
457
00:20:37,302 --> 00:20:38,804
but they know Picasso's signature.
458
00:20:38,804 --> 00:20:41,807
If he was around today, he'd be making underwear too.
459
00:20:41,807 --> 00:20:43,308
But is that art?
460
00:20:43,308 --> 00:20:45,310
Isn't art supposed to be something
461
00:20:45,310 --> 00:20:47,813
that satisfies some yearning for truth and beauty?
462
00:20:47,813 --> 00:20:49,815
Not anymore.
463
00:20:49,815 --> 00:20:51,316
Once a soup can became art,
464
00:20:51,316 --> 00:20:53,318
all the rules went out the window.
465
00:20:53,318 --> 00:20:55,320
It's not the art, it's the logo.
466
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,322
Like these socks.
467
00:20:57,322 --> 00:21:00,826
Well, I guess somehow that's a disappointment to me.
468
00:21:00,826 --> 00:21:03,829
I'd hoped the mystery of art would reveal itself.
469
00:21:03,829 --> 00:21:05,330
Perhaps it will.
470
00:21:05,330 --> 00:21:08,333
Those t-shirts reveal the mystery of truth
471
00:21:08,333 --> 00:21:09,835
and beauty themselves.
472
00:21:09,835 --> 00:21:12,337
As undergarments for our soul,
473
00:21:12,337 --> 00:21:14,339
they express our deep longing
474
00:21:14,339 --> 00:21:16,341
for tactile stimulation
475
00:21:16,341 --> 00:21:18,844
hidden beneath our starched collars
476
00:21:18,844 --> 00:21:20,345
and coarse fabrics.
477
00:21:31,356 --> 00:21:32,858
