Luckily, Murray had both, and the sight of a dogged, idiosyncratic mind firmly engaged with its own experiences is what her traveling retrospective show -- which will open July 28 at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, having closed late last month after a seven-week run in Boston -- has to offer. At 46, Murray has developed without shortcuts into a wonderfully articulate painter, one of the best of a generation that includes Susan Rothenberg, Neil Jenney and Brice Marden.

Indeed, the day before he journeyed to the Tidal Basin to stand beneath the bronze statue of Jefferson, the President told his Cabinet, "The mashed-potato circuit is still out there, and I may be right back on it." So why not start now, while he still commands the world's airwaves and has his jet to get him around...
