Coming up an art, the clever surprise

When I was a boy in a south Georgia town called Cairo, my father was in the picture framing business. Prints and all sorts of stuff were around all the time. One time my folks got me their skinny son, a Picasso print. I went berserk. Soon I was in the wily clever world of the abstract expressionists like Pollock. Gottlieb and Rothko. It made me realize there are few things that can really hit with massive clout like a truly poignant mind-trip of a piece of art.
