======Subject 9131 - Loretta Valente======

>"Reappointed Love", the rising art star Valente's tribute to the tragically destroyed painting //Disappointed Love//, has been argued to be a weak tribute, a knock-off, or something that a newer artist would use to get a leg up on the competition. Reader, those who have been criticising Valente's art have never bothered to experience it. The colours are lush and vibrant; a dark forest has never looked so bright and open. The woman, left of the centre, looks to the lake next to her with a soft expression that can only be described as unapologetically full of love. Her hand caresses the water so gently you could swear that sometimes it ripples.

>The whole painting is full of the kind of still dynamism that it gives the illusion of motion; so much so that some who have had the pleasure of seeing it in person could swear that the woman is never in quite the same place after each visit. Some call it supernatural. As a saner art critic, I would accuse it of simply being supernaturally good art.

===Institute Notes (Agent A): ===
Would suggests Subject 9131 is still in symbiotic relationship with Idea Creature 0014. Will need to return to exhibit for further investigation. 

I request funds to purchase //Reappointed Love// for further study. Requisition form attached.

===Institute Notes (Agent B):===
Would suggest that, as Agent A has already revisited the exhibit five times, and cannot stop babbling about the "collage of colours" or "merging of ideas" exhibited in Subject 9131's art, that Agent A has been compromised. Whether this is simply by an extreme bias caused by admiration or an influence from 0014 is unclear.  

===Institute Notes (Agent A):===
Would suggest that Agent B should visit the exhibit sometime to help their research, both into entities not yet fully understood, and artistic principles. I have observed Agent B's doodles during [REDACTED] meeting, and would suggest that someone who cannot adequately draw a stick figure has no leg to stand on (much like some of their stick figures) compared with one of the greatest artists of our times.

===Institute Notes (Agent B):===
Would suggest that Agent A has been compromised by art. Further investigation needed. 

===Institute Notes (Agent B):===
After a significant waiting list, I have now visited four (4) of Subject 9131's art workshops. Her house was full of art across multiple mediums, with each artist credited. Many are results of 9131's children's creativity, though I noticed a series of small paintings of what appear to be the same cloudy day from Subject 7897.3 (Eliana Olsen); and what I suspect is a cartoonish audience in their underwear from Subject 7897.2 (William Olsen); comparisons with 7897.2's signature required. Pictures of several attached for analysis.

During the class: Between "embracing my creativity" with what I would describe as a "motherly nudge of encouragement" from Subject 9131, I observed some of 9131's quick example drawings move - a ballerina performing a pirouette, leaves falling from a tree, and so forth (further details attached) - and have no doubt that my fellow students also observed the same. This seemed to be part of the charm of the class, eliciting no comment from the class, and a knowing smile from 9131. I believe 9131 gently asked her "Muse" to "stop playing, [they] are distracting the class"; though this exchange was muffled and so may have been incorrectly observed.

Attached are my improved stick figures for Agent A's inspection, along with a challenge to try and do better. No, really. I dare them.
