The Skinny & The Fat About Art Poem by Alexandre Nodopaka

The Skinny & The Fat About Art



Giacometti went skinny and Botero plump.
Meanwhile the Russians went Constructivist
and Suprematist to top it off.

Picasso went cubist and Botero did not predict
obesity in America.
He copied it.

On the other hand Giacometti witnessed
starvation and Twiggy was the consequence
and plainly not fat enough to turn me on.

I prefer to hit a cushion before the bone.
Each artist was way beyond their time and like
Vassily Vassilievitch Kandinski said,

"Every work of art is a child of its age."
And so I Am Who I Am.
God said it first!
