Story
The funny, serious story of three friends and a canvas covered in white paint which becomes almost as much an object of obsession as Moby Dick. Is it Art? Serge thinks so; he paid gobs of money for it. Marc strongly disagrees. He thinks the painting is bogus and Serge has been taken. Serge claims that opinion tells more about Marc's ignorance than it does about the painting. Ivan is drawn into the fray. The arguments grow personal. The white canvas draws out old slights and failures. At last, Serge offers Marc the chance to prove his beliefs by scribbling on the canvas. Philosophy meets action: often known as putting ones money where ones mouth is.
