What is happening in this scene?

Choose the TRUE statements from the list below, there may be more than one correct answer!

Bruno is discussing the paintings at the gallery with the artist.

This statement is true. Bruno greets the man he speaks with by saying, "Brighton, the star of the show". Brighton later asks Bruno what he thinks of his pictures or paintings.

Horatio has ruined some of the paintings at the gallery.

This statement is true. Horatio has "cut", vandalised or ruined some of Brighton's paintings. He has done this by cutting them with a pair of scissors. To "ruin (a dress)" is to render it useless or unwearable.

The exhibit is full of colorful paintings.

This statement is false. Although Bruno calls Brighton's work "colorful", Brighton corrects him by informing him that his paintings are in "black and white".
