What happens at the gallery is that Claude won't talk to you until you prove you're worth talking to. That is, he asks you to react to three different paintings, and if you don't choose the right response, he just snorts and you're on your own. We need some help here.
Hint 2
If you've been to the Meltzer Foundation and gotten into Paul's email account --
-- you saw an email from Josie suggesting that he Oogle the word "artists" to find out what to say to Claude. Let's do that.
Hint 4
The article that appears lists three examples of what not to say to an artist. Three examples, three paintings -- and in this order too. I wonder if Claude read this article too?
Hint 5
The first sentence of each example eliminates one obvious response; the last sentence gives you a hint about the response Claude wants.
Hint 6
The significant words are "provocative," "represents," and "why." Look for those words in the responses you give.
Hint 7
Here are the specific responses Claude wants.
Hint 8
First painting: The hard lines in this painting are really provocative.
Hint 9
Second painting: Does this painting represent darkness and shadow?
Hint 10
Third painting: Why is one side so colorful and the other so dark?
Hint 11
If you got it right, he says, "Can I be forward?" and invites you out onto the fire escape to say more. Save, then follow him.
