/// His rich client before the art sat,
wearing overcoat and a top hat.
The reaction he had
to this landscape is bad,
“I had paid for my portrait— not THAT.”
/// Artist Oberman calmly exhaled.
“I’m aware that you think that I failed.
But your image, you see,
is right here, near that tree.
You look best small, and not too detailed.”
/// Since the client would not change his mind,
a new portrait was quickly designed.
Shown in much larger size
in clothes friends recognize.
With details, (but now seen from behind).
/// In this artwork he paints his own face,
and details of his studio space.
High above, an inflated
string-tied pig bladder waited
to hold pigments too hard to replace.
/// The way A.I. landscapes are done:
Algorithms are set up to run
through millions of pieces,
(plagiarism increases),
and combines all those works into one.
