Luke: "You are a painting of the postimpressionism and your "father" is Vincent Van Gogh"

Gabriela: "Post impressionism started in 1880's until the 1900's. In that time Roger Fry started it and Van Gogh is one of the most important painters of that time" (Excited and annoyed)

(A soft voice starts to talk)

Gabriela: "Yes, Promise!" (lifting the thumb)

The woman in Blue: "Thank you, but the problem is that  people criticize us and don't pay attention to us"

Luke: "Why?"

The woman in Blue: "Because the guides didn't know a lot about us and people think we are not important"

Gabriela: "But they have to know something, thats why they work here"

The woman in blue: "People don't know a lot about history of art and less of an art so old"
