Billboards picturing Houphouet-Boigny, 86, are everywhere. They show Le Vieux in a charcoal-gray leisure suit surrounded by enthusiastic young Ivory Coasters, the camera angle chosen to make the tiny President look as tall as everyone else. Houphouet is regarded as a master politician. Says a Western diplomat: "When the Ivory Coast won a regional soccer game, everyone was convinced it was because Houphouet managed to buy off the other teams. They feel he is capable of anything...
...mainstream of Guercino's graphic work was his studies for commissions. He worked in many media -- chalk, charcoal, crayon, pencil -- but his favorite was pen and ink wash, from which he produced brilliant summaries of movement, light and shade. The trace of the pen twists and flourishes, now with a liquid agitation, now in sheaves of parallel hatching as tense as wires.

He could work passages of light...
...person who is worrying about his next meal is not going to listen to lectures on protecting the environment," says R.K. Pachauri, director of New Delhi's Tata Energy Research Institute. What to Northern eyes seems like some of the worst environmental outrages -- felling rain forests to make charcoal for sale as cooking fuel, for example -- are often committed by people who have no other form of income.

This visual movement strongly contrasts the static and frigid characters of nineteenth century French artists like Ingres and David, whose canvases present both form and content, with the former prevailing...
Henry Moore transforms nature onto paper in a unique way: he transfers the strength of sculptural space onto his sketches. He uses charcoal instead of the chisel to craft his malleable and almost tangible forms. One can almost feel the soft, waxy body of the forms that he sketches. Although the forms he sketches is abstract, the image appears very real...
