I saw this wonderful and clever short early in the 1960's, and have been retelling the whole story dozens of times ever since, in several different parts of the world, in fact. It's just as highly relevant to the arts today as it was back then. It's a great wordless and humorous commentary on how some of the "modern" artists appear to create their works, and how they manage to sell them once the artists' reputations are established.
"Day of the Painter" is ideally suited for television showings, either as a "filler" after a full-length show has ended with about ten minutes (or less) to spare; or as a superb entry for any festival or competition for "Best Humorous Short in Film History".
