A chimp called Congo outsold legendary artist Andy Warhol at an auction in London. A group of three of the ape’s paintings went for more than $25,000. Ruby the elephant sold more than $100,000 worth of her paintings. The proceeds went to the Phoenix Zoo, where she lived. Congo and Ruby were just two stars in a line of animal artists that continue to cash in on the art world’s hunger for fresh work. Some skeptics believe animal artists get too much help from their trainers, who provide supplies and perhaps make artistic choices. But many respected critics have been quick to come to the animal artists’ defense.

“After examining the artwork of different chimpanzees at a gallery in London, I can tell you that at least some of these animals possess a style,” says Benjamin Aaronson, art critic for the national magazine Art! “The colors they select and the strokes they apply show a definite flair and feeling.”

“All that praise hasn’t gone to the animals’ heads,” says zookeeper Katie Harper. “My apes love to paint, but they don’t pay attention to reviews from their human audience,” she observes. “And if it came to choosing between a paintbrush and a banana, there would be no contest!”

Me which theme is developed by the changing relationship between the narrator and his daughter in this excerpt ? as she grew older, she spent more of her time with girls. so much time indeed did she spend with them that she came no more, as she used to do, to her father’s room. i was scarcely on speaking terms with her. when mini and her father stop communicating, it develops the theme that children should not speak unless spoken to. as mini becomes more independent, it develops the theme that parents must learn to let go as their children grow up. as mini spends more time with friends, it develops the theme that young people are more influenced by peers than by parents. when mini and her father see each other far less often, it develops the theme that absence makes the heart grow fonder.
