M: Hey, Felicia. Do you have time for a quick conversation?
W: Sure, boss. What’s up?
M: I was walking through the hallways of our office yesterday and it struck me that we could use a little beautification around here.
W: Are you thinking about repainting the hallways?
M: Well, actually I was considering buying some art to display around the office and factory grounds. I think we could all benefit from a little touch of culture, don’t you think?
W: Yes, that’s a great idea. I think looking at beautiful things helps lift morale.
M: Yeah, that’s what I was thinking.(6-2)It might brighten up the office and lift people’s spirits a bit as well. I’m not really sure about what kind of art to buy though.
W: That is a tricky issue. Everyone has different tastes. You know the old expression: " Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. "
M: What about you, Felicia? What kind of art do you like?
W: Well, actually I like abstract modern art. I feel modern art is open to interpretation. Each person looks at the painting with a different understanding and gets a different message from it. Sometimes I find landscape paintings or more traditional art to be a bit boring.
M: Yes, I would agree with that. I don’t want any pictures of fruit in bowls hanging on our walls. It needs to be something inspirational!
W: How about you, boss? What kind of art inspires you?
M: I’m a big fan of photography. I like real images captured by a camera. They’re so genuine, and I find that I don’t get tired of looking at them over and over again.
W: I often go to photography exhibitions at the local museum. Sometimes the pictures are of nature—you know, wild animals or sunsets, that kind of thing.
M: Yes, I like to hang out at the museum as well. I’m also a big fan of sculpture. Last time I was in Italy I made a special trip to go to see Michelangelo’s " David". It’s really a very impressive work of art.
W: I’d love to see that! I was in Paris two years ago and I spent half my time there walking around the Louvre Museum. It was amazing.
M: You know...come to think of it. Maybe we should buy some art pieces from the local artists to support the local community.
W: I’ve got an idea! Let’s try to find one very beautiful, very impressive large piece of art—or maybe a mural—to put at the entrance of our office. Then, instead of buying works of art to hang in the various hallways, we can rent the artworks and rotate what we have on display!
M: Felicia, that’s a brilliant idea. I think you just solved our dilemma.
W: Thanks, boss!
