| Description: | Video quality is distorted throughout. Audio seems fine. News in Brief: Apt Ape Artist. Rotterdam Zoo. Sophie, a 12-year-old lady gorilla, has a fling at abstract art and eats it up. Her brushwork and texture puts her on a plane with some of the best known of the 'far out' school. Male zookeeper leads ape to table, hands her a canvas and paintbrush. Sophie paints away. Sophie holds up her painting and hides her head behind it. Modern art, parody. | |
