Let’s see if we can refute the following:

Definition of Art: The death throes of a disintegrating soul.

Opening night of an Arts show: Where dying souls can come together to laugh away the emptiness.

Alcohol: Used to excite the death throes, to squeeze as much out of the remains as possible.

The artist: One who deceives himself into believing that he is an individual.

Opening night: A gathering of people who deceive themselves into believing they are individuals.

…All the while, the mad Van Gogh is ignored or spat upon.
