About Paintings
(Aleksandr Kushner)

5
00:00:22,540 --> 00:00:26,940
Should you see on any painting
A blue river, moving fast,

6
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,640
Or a spruce, with white frost covered,
Or a yard, sky overcast,

7
00:00:31,740 --> 00:00:36,510
Or a snowfield, good for sleighing,
Or a field with tent take shape,

8
00:00:36,570 --> 00:00:40,060
Then the name for such a painting
Is undoubtedly...

9
00:00:40,260 --> 00:00:41,240
"Landscape!"

10
00:00:50,490 --> 00:00:54,810
Should a picture framed in amber
Have a coffee mug someplace,

11
00:00:54,910 --> 00:00:59,370
Or juice in a large decanter,
Or a rose in crystal vase,

12
00:00:59,470 --> 00:01:04,150
Or a bronzed heavy kettle,
Or a pear, a cake, or pie,

13
00:01:04,250 --> 00:01:07,530
Or all of those things together, -
Know that this is...

14
00:01:07,630 --> 00:01:08,830
"A still life!"

15
00:01:18,110 --> 00:01:22,380
If you see that from this painting,
Someone's looking out at us -

16
00:01:22,830 --> 00:01:26,880
Say, a prince in old-time costume,
Or a man high on a truss,

17
00:01:26,980 --> 00:01:29,710
Pilot, or a ballet dancer,

18
00:01:29,810 --> 00:01:31,900
Neighbour Kolya, your classmate,

19
00:01:31,901 --> 00:01:35,201
Then you may be sure: this painting
Will go by the name...

20
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:36,390
"Buffet!"

21
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,500
"Not buffet."

22
00:01:51,940 --> 00:01:53,230
"Portrait!"

23
00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:18,000
A Game
(Ovsey Driz)

24
00:02:22,810 --> 00:02:26,510
Here, I see a...
bush growing my lawn,

25
00:02:26,650 --> 00:02:30,110
Sparrows playing "leapfrog" -
and they've gone!

26
00:02:30,380 --> 00:02:34,480
There's my funny
dog going on a stroll...

27
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,900
Now we don't see anything at all.

28
00:02:39,340 --> 00:02:43,240
Here, I see a... tall pillar of dust -

29
00:02:43,340 --> 00:02:46,860
Lorry 'round the corner,
rushing fast,

30
00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:50,790
I can see
a driver in control.

31
00:02:52,190 --> 00:02:55,780
Now we don't see anything at all.

32
00:02:56,090 --> 00:02:59,750
Here we see a... moth in yellow frock,

33
00:02:59,850 --> 00:03:03,090
...swinging itself on a thin, green stalk.

34
00:03:03,660 --> 00:03:05,680
We see, through the...

35
00:03:05,780 --> 00:03:07,820
We see, through the...

36
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:10,950
We see, through the
window flies a bumblebee,

37
00:03:11,050 --> 00:03:16,840
And again, again it's all dark around me.

38
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:28,250
Again, we see:
an armchair is de-dusted.

39
00:03:28,350 --> 00:03:32,470
We see thunder approaching in the skies.

40
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,210
It's so really, very interesting! -

41
00:03:36,310 --> 00:03:39,950
Closing and opening one's eyes.

42
00:03:40,050 --> 00:03:43,620
Closing and opening one's eyes.

43
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,960
Closing and opening one's eyes.

44
00:03:49,990 --> 00:03:52,370
It's so very interesting!

45
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,119
Or Maybe, or Maybe...
(Eduard Uspenskiy)

46
00:03:58,420 --> 00:04:01,220
There is a simple folk tale,

47
00:04:01,421 --> 00:04:04,021
OR MAYBE not a folk tale,

48
00:04:04,222 --> 00:04:07,022
OR MAYBE not so simple,

49
00:04:07,023 --> 00:04:09,723
that we'd like you to hear

50
00:04:10,124 --> 00:04:13,124
We know it from our childhood,

51
00:04:13,125 --> 00:04:15,925
or maybe from adulthood,

52
00:04:16,126 --> 00:04:18,926
or maybe we don't know it,

53
00:04:18,927 --> 00:04:22,927
but hope it will appear.

54
00:04:23,528 --> 00:04:25,128
Begin!

55
00:04:28,729 --> 00:04:30,129
One time there was a crow,

56
00:04:31,730 --> 00:04:33,930
or possibly a dog,

57
00:04:35,031 --> 00:04:36,931
or possibly a cow,

58
00:04:38,132 --> 00:04:40,432
who struck a lucky score.

59
00:04:41,433 --> 00:04:43,433
She found a piece of cheese;

60
00:04:44,834 --> 00:04:46,434
about 200 grams

61
00:04:48,135 --> 00:04:50,435
or possibly 300

62
00:04:51,536 --> 00:04:53,436
or maybe even more.

63
00:04:54,737 --> 00:04:56,437
She flew right up a pine,

64
00:04:57,838 --> 00:05:00,438
or maybe didn't fly

65
00:05:01,020 --> 00:05:03,039
or maybe up a palm tree

66
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,040
she ran right up from thence,

67
00:05:07,241 --> 00:05:09,041
and there for some good breakfasting,

68
00:05:09,042 --> 00:05:10,542
or maybe for some dinner,

69
00:05:10,543 --> 00:05:12,243
or maybe even suppertime,

70
00:05:12,344 --> 00:05:13,544
she quietly made her plans.

71
00:05:14,045 --> 00:05:15,545
And then?

72
00:05:25,546 --> 00:05:27,546
But here a fox was running,

73
00:05:28,847 --> 00:05:30,547
or maybe wasn't running,

74
00:05:32,048 --> 00:05:34,548
or maybe a mad ostrich,

75
00:05:35,249 --> 00:05:37,549
or kind, we might presume.

76
00:05:38,350 --> 00:05:40,550
or possibly a sweeper!

77
00:05:41,551 --> 00:05:44,251
who traipsed along the countryside,

78
00:05:44,752 --> 00:05:47,252
to find the nearest hazel tree,

79
00:05:48,053 --> 00:05:50,253
and carve himself a broom!

80
00:06:10,054 --> 00:06:13,054
Oh listen my dear crow,

81
00:06:13,355 --> 00:06:16,055
unless you are a dog,

82
00:06:16,756 --> 00:06:19,956
or possibly a cow

83
00:06:19,957 --> 00:06:21,257
the finest cow of all,

84
00:06:23,258 --> 00:06:26,058
Your feathers are exquisite,

85
00:06:26,459 --> 00:06:29,259
your horns are really something,

86
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,260
your hooves are nice and slim,

87
00:06:32,961 --> 00:06:34,261
and what a kindly soul!

88
00:06:36,162 --> 00:06:38,062
If ever you should sing,

89
00:06:39,423 --> 00:06:41,263
or maybe if you woof

90
00:06:42,664 --> 00:06:44,864
or maybe if you moo

91
00:06:45,865 --> 00:06:47,215
(since cows moo a lot)

92
00:06:47,266 --> 00:06:49,216
then you'll get a big saddle

93
00:06:49,267 --> 00:06:50,917
a carpet and a TV,

94
00:06:50,968 --> 00:06:52,368
nice presents will be gotten

95
00:06:52,469 --> 00:06:54,469
or maybe will be got.

96
00:07:02,570 --> 00:07:08,370
And so, the stupid crow,

97
00:07:09,171 --> 00:07:14,371
or possibly the dog,

98
00:07:14,872 --> 00:07:16,632
or possibly

99
00:07:16,683 --> 00:07:17,683
the hippo!

100
00:07:20,424 --> 00:07:26,024
began to sing and crow...

101
00:07:27,325 --> 00:07:28,725
Cock-a-doodle-doo!

102
00:07:32,126 --> 00:07:33,776
So fell the crow's cheese,

103
00:07:33,827 --> 00:07:35,477
or possibly the dog's,

104
00:07:35,528 --> 00:07:37,128
or possibly the cow's;

105
00:07:37,229 --> 00:07:38,829
on this we are agreed

106
00:07:39,030 --> 00:07:40,830
and right atop the fox

107
00:07:41,131 --> 00:07:42,231
Stop throwing things!

108
00:07:42,472 --> 00:07:44,232
or possibly the ostrich

109
00:07:46,133 --> 00:07:47,833
or possibly the sweeper

110
00:07:49,734 --> 00:07:50,834
it fell with some great speed.

111
00:08:00,635 --> 00:08:02,935
The moral of this tale,

112
00:08:04,436 --> 00:08:07,336
which may not be a tale,

113
00:08:09,137 --> 00:08:12,637
not just a grown adult;

114
00:08:13,838 --> 00:08:17,338
a dwarf should understand:

115
00:08:18,339 --> 00:08:19,989
don't ever stand, don't jump around,

116
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,790
don't sing or even try to dance

117
00:08:21,841 --> 00:08:23,491
in off-limits construction zones

118
00:08:23,542 --> 00:08:24,742
where heavy things might land.

119
00:08:25,743 --> 00:08:26,743
