Painting: Market in Provence - The Price Is Everything?

The original title of this painting is "Painting of Melons and Bananas But We Can Only See the Price." I find myself at a market in Provence, surrounded by melons and bananas. Yet, amidst it all, I suddenly lose sight of the fruit, my attention drawn instead to the price tags. The real juicy fruit? It's the price tag! This painting serves as a harbinger of times—specifically, inflationary times—that are yet to come. Or perhaps, it's not just a harbinger; it's already happening. By the time I finish this painting, there's no doubt the price of those melons will have changed. And what about the painting itself? No wonder its price may vary... Catch it while you can.
