Your Master
Kira
I stared into the pompous faces of self-proclaimed art lovers, plastered on
my best pensive Marina Abramovic stare, and placed a thoughtful finger
on my chin.
“Now this? This is a real masterpiece.” They clung to my every word. They
gave appreciative nods of agreement and knowing harrumphs from those
who knew this piece of art was a winner. “Look at those aggressive lines.” I
pointed to a curved red streak. “The accent of black along the base captures
that deep sense of loneliness.”
I wiped my hands on my black sheath dress: chic, intelligent, fashionable
but not flamboyant. Professional, but not threatening. Trustworthy, but not
that approachable. Every stitch and gesture was hand-picked to make these
idiots open their wallets.
“See those jagged edges? They’re a commentary on the acuteness of pain.
As sharp as the tip of a bullet.” I shook my head subtly but dramatically at
the same time. “They say this artist, Jerry Vasali, was a veteran. He saw a
lot of combat and fell into depression when the VA couldn’t get him the
help he needed.” Someone let out a soft “oh”, as if I was reciting some
tragedy. “Such a shame. He’s now a psychiatric inpatient somewhere. Can’t
paint anymore. This might be his last masterpiece.”
Ka-Ching! I had planted the seeds that Jerry Vasali might commit suicide,
which would make his art priceless. This piece of shit canvas would go for
a million, easily.
Except it was a lie. There was no Jerry Vasali. I had painted this canvas a
month ago while halfway down a bottle of Jack Daniels, with a cigarette
dangling from my lips. When I was sober, I forged papers of authenticity
with nothing but a printer and a paintbrush. I signed with my own familiar
green fountain pen in the art dealer section, using my left hand.
I forged with my right hand. I was myself with my left.
