The Council of Accidental Expressionists is the highest governing body of Rumpeltonian artistic theory, though its exact membership, location, and legal authority remain matters of considerable uncertainty.
Founded during an especially productive afternoon in which several artistic decisions were made without adequate planning, the Council exists to protect the fundamental rights of the accidental artist. Its central doctrine is simple:
An artistic mistake is only a mistake if the artist admits it was one.
The Council oversees such important matters as Good Messy, Unintentional Perspective, Chromatic Improvisation, and the proper classification of objects that the artist insists are "supposed to look like that."
Despite its impressive title, the Council has historically maintained a remarkably small membership.
Current records indicate an official attendance of one.
This has not prevented the Council from holding lengthy meetings, issuing formal statements, or occasionally overruling established artistic principles. Minutes from one particularly contentious session record a debate lasting three hours concerning whether a crooked line was "deliberately expressive" or merely "a little crooked."
The matter remains unresolved.
The Council's most significant achievement was its role in the adoption of the Second Rumpeltonian Chromatic Accord, which permanently liberated artists from the oppressive expectation that colors should behave themselves.
Professor Nigel Smudgeworth considers the Council "the most important artistic institution since the invention of the paintbrush."
Ava Chives has described it as "a serious and highly respected organization."
Ralph Rumpelton, when asked about the Council, reportedly replied:
"What council?"
The Archives have classified this statement as historically significant.
The Council, naturally, has declined to comment.
