metaphors in painting class

today, as he shoved a student out of the way, planted himself in front of her canvas, and grandly added a bold swoosh of color to her painting, my professor exclaimed, "I love the way this line falls apart, like my daughter's boyfriend's chair crumbling under my weight. What an great metaphor for life!"
