about

The Temptation of Saint Anthony has been the subject of many paintings throughout history; my favourite of which is the fictional painting in Kurt Vonnegut’s novel “Breakfast of Champions”. It is an abstract expressionist and expensive piece of art, that enrages many of it’s viewers with it’s modern simplicity. When questioned about the meaning of the title, the painter says he doesn’t know what the Temptation of Saint Anthony even is. However, when facing skepticism about the painting’s artistic merit, he defends his work strongly, stating that the painting represents a spiritual essence that took his whole career to realize. I also don’t know what The Temptation of Saint Anthony is.
