"Oh, I didn't mean to make it sound like I thought all things claimed to be art were honest. I've met enough cheats to know the smell of their shit," he answered with a casual shrug of his own. "I meant the genuine stuff. I didn't know there was that much to all of it. I've been inside all of the Smithsonian Museums at least once. They're pretty much all free to enter. But when I could spend a day there, I usually hung out at the National Zoo, not the art galleries. I never put much thought into learning about all this and all that has gone into it through the uh... centuries. Just all that history of it."
He scratched at his right arm idly, "But I like the honesty this art has. It makes it special."
