I am an art student and I paint a lot of pictures. Many people pretend that they understand modern art. They always tell you what a picture is ‘about’. Of course, many pictures are not ‘about’ anything. They are just pretty patterns. We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material. I think that young children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else. They notice more. My sister is only seven, but she always tells me whether my pictures are good or not. She came into my room yesterday.
‘What are you doing?’ she asked.
‘I'm hanging this picture on the wall, ’ I answered. ‘It's a new one. Do you like it?
’She looked at it critically for a moment. ‘It's all right, ’ she said, ‘but isn't it upside down?’
I looked at it again. She was right! It was!

2 They always tell you what a picture is‘about’. 他们总是告诉你一张画的“意思”是什么。很明显，作者认为那些自以为懂得现代艺术的人的评论根本不着边际。因此，把about(“对画的分析”)这个词放在引号里，以示一种讽刺的口吻。
3 It's a new one. 这是一幅新画。句中的one用来代替前一句中的名词 picture，以免重复。
