The art in ''Art,'' the short, slender and often very funny play by Yasmina Reza that opened last night at the Royale Theater, is a 4-by-5-foot white-on-white painting, unadorned by anything figurative. Though Ms. Reza's comedy is set in the Paris of today, the painting in it that causes such trouble is not what you would call cutting-edge contemporary. It is in fact quite classic looking, the sort of abstract work that was being used at least four decades ago in derisive jokes about about how fraudulent modern art is.

close Video Parents have the 'fundamental right' to direct their children's education: Tiffany Justice Tiffany Justice, co-founder of Moms for Liberty, weighs in after the House passed the 'Parents Bill of Rights.' The public and journalists often chastise Congress for passing "messaging" bills. Here’s more on a "messaging" bill. The House or Senate know a bill doesn’t stand much of a chance of becoming law.
