    The author took a train trip alone to Boston to see an exhibition of paintings by Russian artist Igora Alexandra V. They greatly enjoyed the colorful, large-scale paintings, even if they did not fully understand their meanings. The author encouraged their parents to see the exhibition too. However, the parents had a very different reaction, with the mother finding the paintings weird and the father calling them awful and saying his young niece could paint better. The author was confused by the disagreement but discussed it with their art teacher, who suggested the parents had more traditional views of art that did not align with the modern styles in the exhibition.

    A STRANGE DISAGREEMENT

    LAST WEEK I CAUGHT A TRAIN TO BOSTON TO SEE AN EXHIBITION OF PAINTINGS BY THE

    RUSSIAN ARTIST IGORALEXANDRO V. I WENT BY MYSELF BECAUSE MOST OF MY FRIENDS

    WERE AT COLLEGE.

    IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST EXHIBITIONS I HAVE EVER SEEN. THE PAINTINGS WERE AMAZING. I

    DIDN’T REALLY UNDERSTAND THEIR MEANING, BUT I WAS THRILLED BY THEIR COLOURS AND

    THEIR SIZE. I COULD SEE THAT OTHER PEOPLE IN THE GALLERY WERE ENJOYING

    THEMSELVES, TOO.

    I STAYED SO LONG AT THE EXHIBITION THAT I ALMOST MISSED MY TRAIN HOME . MY

    PARENTS LOVE ART AS MUCH AS I DO, SO WHEN I GOT HOME, I TOLD THEM ALL ABOUT IT,

    AND ENCOURAGED THEM TO GO, TOO. THEY DECIDED TO GO THE NEXT WEEK.

    UNFORTUNATELY, THEY HAD A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT OPINION. MY MOTHER SAID THE

    PAINTINGS WERE WEIRD, AND MY FATHER WAS EVEN MORE RUDE. HE SAID THEY WERE

    AWFUL! HE SAID MY 6-YEAR-OLD NIECE COULD PAINT BETTER THAN THAT.

    I WAS DISAPPOINTED THEY FELT THAT WAY, AND ALSO A LITTLE CONFUSED. HOW COULD WE

    HAVE SUCH DIFFERENT OPINIONS OF THE SAME PAINTINGS? I TALKED TO MY ART TEACHER

    ABOUT IT. SHE SAID THAT MAYBE MY PARENTS HAVE MORE OLD-FASHIONED IDEAS ABOUT

    WHAT ART SHOULD BE LIKE, AND THAT MAYBE THE PAINTINGS WERE TOO MODERN FOR

    THEM.
