lirik lagu neil klein, avery l. ingvarson - the art of scandal

[sargent]
sneers and jeers from pompous critics
they see my work, my life, and they spit in it
where is the sensitive grasp on a soul?
the salon’s a destination, not the ultimate goal

paintings can’t be whole when you just see shreds you can rip them to
artists aren’t puppets you can string across your point of view
beginning to learn
tides don’t often turn
unless you forfeit what you value all for praise unjustly earned

the art of scandal

‘cause you think you’re the smartest
the art of scandal

the art of scandal
the art of a causing a commotion
in the act of art devotion

[manet, spoken]
this world is being torn asunder by many things, but art is not one of them!
[degas, spoken]
believe that if you like. but art can force families apart, drive you mad, bring about the downfall of nations!

[manet, spoken]
and you really think that’s what his portrait did?

[vermeer, spoken]
i don’t think it was on purpose

[rembrandt]
well, john?

[sargent]
the madame was gorgeous, this is a fact
but as a sitting subject? well, that was a sk!ll she lacked
yet i painted what i saw! there are worse crimes
and frankly? there are more scandalous pictures than mine

i want to be known ~ painters that dispute this fact lie
notice becomes praise and money which creates a life
they said i manufacture outrage
that i take up every stage but
i live a life to write of in my memoir, page by page

the art of scandal

the art of making a pariah
for not painting the messiah

in a language that’s so frightening

[isabella, spoken]
you should hear the things they say about me

[sargent, spoken]
how do you bear it?

[isabella, spoken]
do you like the painting?

[sargent, spoken]
it’s the best thing i’ve ever done

[isabella, spoken]
then let them talk

[sargent]
if no one will ask
then no one will get me
and if that’s the case
take a good look at my face
before they all forget me
art is forever
if that’s what it takes
you know what the expression is?
i’ll up the stakes like the godd~mn impressionists
i’ll be one of the greats!

[sargent]
with the art of scandal
