...state fair in Iowa, which is expected to draw as many as 600,000 people, an artist, Duffy Lyon, created a sculpture of Hansel, Gretel and their gingerbread house, entirely out of butter. This broke a long-standing tradition in Iowa. In past years the fair featured only one butter sculpture: a cow contained in a refrigerated case. Of course, a cow carved out of butter has a material integrity that Hansel and Gretel lack, but the new work is in flesh-tone colors. Lyon reports that the crowds "stand there with their mouths open. They've never seen colored...

Basic service is free, but limited to 30 minutes of listening a day. For $5 a month ($48 if you pre-pay for the year) you get unlimited listening time and can save up to 10 hours of programming...
...Munch by Himself" is billed as a survey of the artist's self-portraiture. But whether nailed to a cross in Golgotha (1900) or lying in a pool of blood as the assassinated French revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat in Marat's Death I (1907), Munch remains elusive, instead appearing in different metaphorical guises. There he is, too, leaning on a railing beneath a blood red sky in Despair (1892), an obvious precursor to The Scream...
