...nearby Reina Sofia Museum. Merely 5 feet 4 inches tall, I gazed up at almost 12 feet of canvas. The painting left me dumb-struck as it brilliantly resonated with a passion, power, and emotion as if it were a living thing. The colossal mural commemorates the brutal aerial bombardment of the ancient Basque town Guernica by German and Italian squadrons during the Spanish Civil War. As a modern historical painting, it draws on archetypal images such as bulls, horses, and melancholy women—particularly Spanish themes but nevertheless universal.

But they are still capable of major destruction, as they proved last week when the E.R.P. launched a midnight strike on Juaya...
Exhaling smoke with a particular world-weariness only a beautiful woman can conjure, Xu Jinglei announces she's tired of Oriental mystique, all the brocade and bamboo and aerial kung-fu artistry. That's ironic, given that the movie director, 31, with her chopstick physique and brushstroke features, would fit quite nicely into an epic about a woman named, say, Plum Blossom...
