SPECULATION


It was noon on a busy Sunday at the museum when Billy Williams enters the museum, observed now on camera forever.

He was about twenty with a slight build wearing a white golf shirt. He has brown eyes Mr. Fine,the curator recalls.

It was in the Impressionist room with Renoir's "Dance in the Country" when Billy walks up and the painting opens up in its life like portrayal and motion when Billy begins to dance in a street performance together with the couple.The polite crowd is startled to see none of the patinas is damaged nor was time altered.

It happens again upon seeing J.M. Turner's in his"Hannibal in the Alps" when history and geography collided and the art patrons watch Billy Williams" participation in battle.The museum goers take out their own cameras to record the scene.

Billy goes toward the action painter Jackson Pollock "Dark Side of the Moon"and moves on the lunar surface with its beautiful yellow and riotous red colors of meteorite trails.

Mr. Fine's face turns like the color of moon as the guards try unsuccessfully to take Billy away. But the art lovers embrace Billy and will not let him be arrested.

 Psychologists, experts on extra sensory perception, space scientists,and art critics from around the world have as yet no explanation.

Billy takes questions from a news conference and says he cannot for life of him know what accounts for his special relationship to art. He says to us that paintings inhabit and envelope him in internal light and dark seizures like surreal yet human paroxisms.
