[00:07.90] | White, a blank page or canvas |
[00:11.35] | The challenge: To bring order to the whole |
[00:15.40] | Through design, |
[00:17.43] | Composition, |
[00:19.61] | Balance, |
[00:22.56] | Light, |
[00:25.85] | And harmony. |
[00:41.21] | "Sunday In The Park With George" by James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim. |
[00:44.90] | And I got to play George. George Seurat. |
[00:48.89] | But, ahm, I knew nothing about painting. |
[00:51.69] | So Carol, my wife, and I went off to Paris to the Musée d'Orsay to find his paintings. |
[00:58.86] | We turned up at this, eh, amazing building, |
[01:02.77] | and, eh, we went in and - |
[01:05.69] | Look, if you come from where I come from you would never expect to see these things in a whole lifetime. |
[01:10.59] | And there they were, things you'd only ever seen in books. |
[01:12.90] | So... Cezannes and... waterlilies... that Monet fellow... |
[01:18.32] | And, eh... and Degas... and, eh... Toulouse-Lautrecs and Van Goghs, and, eh... |
[01:26.45] | And then there was this one painting... a Seurat... |
[01:32.63] | Look, it's made of a sort of dots... |
[01:37.50] | Thousands, millions of dots... |
[01:43.18] | And then - I got the score! |
[01:48.79] | Talk about dots... |
[01:50.37] | Oh, so much to learn! |
[01:52.22] | And I have to learn to paint |
[01:53.33] | Paint sticks, paint dogs... |
[01:55.35] | Sorry, darling?... A baby?! |
[01:59.17] | When? How long?... |
[02:01.99] | But I've gotta paint hats! |
[02:04.17] | More red... |
[02:06.28] | Me, a father... |
[02:08.39] | And a little more red... |
[02:09.85] | And I have to improve my articulation |
[02:12.32] | Blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue |
[02:14.60] | Even even... Good... |
[02:16.59] | And I have to rehearse my intonation |
[02:19.73] | Bumbum bum bumbumbum bumbum bum... |
[02:23.54] | And then I have to learn to count the beats |
[02:25.37] | (Two three four) |
[02:26.93] | More red... What? |
