Avant Garde Automation A new revolution rocks the world of avant-garde art. Paris's left bank is a-buzz over an incredible looking new mechanical artist that turns out incomprehensible modern art at a brisk slip, to the amazement of onlookers. Man holds two ropes attached to bird (poultry) that is used, in its flapping, to put paint onto a surface. Coin-operated machines draw or paint "modern art." The machines themselves look like modern art sculptures or mobiles. Satire. Humor, comedy.
