Art (play)

Art is a comedic play by Yasmina Reza. The plot concerns three men, Yvan, Marc and Serge. The play begins when Serge buys a modernist painting for two hundred thousand francs. The painting consists of some white lines on a white background. Marc resents the fact that Serge spent so much money on what he refers to as "white shit", while Yvan flip-flops between Marc and Serge's opinions (his non-committal attitude costs him dearly later in the play when he has to offer his convoluted, compromised view to the other two).

The play consists firstly of duologues between two of the three characters, followed by a long scene in Serge's flat, which dominates the play.
