Magnum Opus 

What did the artist have in mind
 when he painted all those humans
 in so many various colors?

 Did the painting look too colorless
 with all of them in the same tone?

 Giving them different shapes of eyes 
 and dyeing each one's hair in very 
 other shades wasn't enough.

 Apparently the picture he desired
 to achieve was still bearing boredom all along.

 Painting plants, colorful flowers,
 beautiful trees, and a broad variety 
 of animals around these, on two legs 
 walking creatures of his still wasn't 
 good to satisfy the eye of the 
 Master of Arts.

 He took a step back from the big 
 canvas, folded his arms and patiently
analysed the outcome so far of his work.

 There was something lacking ...!

He just couldn't figure it out.

 This painting was to become his 
 Masterpiece which no one should ever
 be able to equalise.

It had to be 'Perfection in its purest'.

  Yet - there was something quite not as 
  he felt it had to be.

 lot of green there was as well as 
 brown, and much of blue for the sky and
 the seas ...

  After long reflection 

  "That's it!!! Now I know!!!" he suddenly
 exclaimed.

"It's the color of the humans' skins
  which makes this incredibly sublime 
 creation seem bland!"

All of these innumerable people yet
 appeared to be all alike.

 With renewed ardour he took up his brush 
 mixed colors together again and again,
 and finally many groups of humans emerged
 in different tones.

 Some only slightly dissimilar to others, 
   some groups very much unalike.

 Taking a step back again to judge his
 efforts from a distance when slowly a smile 
 creeped onto his face, and his eyes began
 to sparkle.

 "Yes - this is it!!! E-u-r-e-k-a!!!"

This was 'The Tableau Vivant' he from the
 beginning intended to create - this was 
 his vision come true!

 It was 'Perfection in Creation'!

 With men not boring themselves to death
  in looking all the same.

 Now they could enjoy their differences,
 and value all they could learn from each other.

 Surely they appreciate not being like clones.

 He felt unbelievably happy!

 In his magnum opus everything developed as
 it was meant to be.

 Every contemplator will find it amazing,
 full of grace and greatness to watch
 so many different kinds of humans and 
 cultures interact blithely with one another.

 Yes it definitely was the different skin
 colors of men that made a chef d'oeuvre 
 of his supreme creation!

  Magna cum laude!

 How was the artist  to know ...!?!
