// Dead End to Needlenose. Ah, do you have a moment? I tried to ask someone about their artwork, but I fear my use of Earth terms totally confused them. Perhaps you could, ah, tell me the equivalents from Cybertron? //

//Well, sure,// Although since everything they're saying is in Cybertronian that's translated into English for the reader, they might be the exact same terms!
//What terms d'you need?//

// Well, do you have an equivalent to the Dadaists? Or an artist who did monochromatic works for a while, like Picasso in his Blue Period? //

// Those aren't terms, those are names! Besides, if you're talking about two-dee depictions that result from paint applied to a surface, you're talking to the wrooooooooong mechanoid. Painting went out almost as soon as it was invented. //
So apparently Needlenose knows just enough about human culture to recognize the names, and just enough not to care.

// Well, it's back in. Apparently as wall murals with a dadaist aesthetic. Or perhaps he's going for impressionism. //
