...even more jarring: Richter gave the painting to the memorial in Lidice, Czech Republic, commemorating one of the horrific slaughters of World War II. The image, taken from a family photo, is out of focus, deliberately blurred by dragging a brush through the wet paint or wiping a cloth over it. It looks like memory trying to be recaptured, wavering up to meet us through layers of consciousness and efforts of repression. But it is not in any real sense "expressive." Richter is the man who notoriously said he could find more interest in the dumbest amateur snapshot than...
...leaders came to pay their respects. To Jnawali, who had seen his brother's wounds, the sight of him covered in flowers and bound in white was too much. As the ministers drew near, he brushed aside the orange and purple blooms and ripped open his brother's burial cloth to show the butchered body. "I said, 'Look at him. Look at what they did to him.

They're also eco-friendly: there's not much in them besides wood and cloth, and they sit lightly on the ground, no foundation required, so their impact on the environment is minimal...

He is surrounded by five wolves, but their relation to him seems maternal and loving rather than violent. The wolves and the intense white of the sand and sky suggest a snow-covered, winter quality. The barrenness of the nature and the bareness of the central figure establish...
