...irony of all of this is Kiarostami is a very apolitical director,” Pierce said. “His films are really meditations on human dilemmas, and depict the Iranian landscape in a very lyrical, poetic fashion...
...Beckmann; he saw his dedication to art as a service to society and never figured that meant he had to be an outsider. As he reached his period of greatest influence in the late 1920s and early '30s, his self-portraits (of which he painted almost 200) tended to depict a man of the world, often wearing a tie, almost always holding a cigarette. The image befitted a man who had by then become such an artistic force that the National Gallery in Berlin dedicated an entire room to his work in 1932. The Nazis put a stop to that...
...audience's favor. Practically every panel in the book has something, often a word balloon, but sometimes an arm or a piece of clothing, poking out over the edge. While not difficult in itself, the technique points to Deitch's fundamental challenge to audiences: the act of transgression. The depiction of Waldo typifies Deitch's disturbing art.

Feinberg, who spends hours on the phone talking to victims and their lawyers, has not sought counseling as a result of hearing horror story after horror story, and he is skeptical of any attempt to depict him as transformed by Sept. 11. "I honestly do not believe that I've been surprised by any of it," he says matter-of-factly. "I went through Agent Orange, which was pretty rough, and I anticipated on this assignment that it would be rough emotionally, and it has been. But I'm not surprised." What Feinberg will admit is that the experience...
