Quotes:
[Data is analyzing a painting of Picard]Lt. Commander Data: Interesting.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Oh, thank you... In what way?
Lt. Commander Data: While suggesting the free treatment of form usually attributed to fauvism, this quite... inappropriately attempts to juxtapose the disparate cubistic styles of Picasso and Léger. In addition, the use of color suggests a... haphazard melange of clashing styles. Furthermore, the unsettling overtones of proto-Vulcan influences...
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Thank you!... Mr. Data.
Lt. Commander Data: You are welcome, sir. If I can be of further assistance...
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: No! Thank you.

ST:TNG:62 - "A Matter Of Perspective" (Stardate: 43610.4) - this is the 14th episode of the 3rd season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
It's fitting that the beginning of this film begins with Picard and 2 other crew members are in a drawing session based on an object they are looking at, each drawing based on his/her own subjective perspective. The reason is this episode is about how different witnesses to a murder and station explosion see the incident (in the style of Kurosawa's "Rashomon") including Riker (who is now a suspect) - and instead of recalling the incident, we are given visual representation of each witnesses' testimonies via the holodeck.
Basically, this episode brings to "perspective" as to what is the truth - is there an objective truth or is it truly only subjective?
