...Grand Parade, Portrait of the Artist as Clown at the Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais (March 11-May 31). With 200 paintings, drawings, sculptures, film clips and installations, the show covers two centuries of this circus lineup, as envisioned by 83 artists including Goya, Ensor, Klee, Beckmann, Dix, Picasso, Bonnard, Hopper, Freud, Robert Capa and Diane Arbus. It's a perilous leap from Chardin's delightful The Monkey Painter and Toulouse-Lautrec's bitter yellow La Clownesse Cha-U-Kao to video artist Pierrick Sorin's ad nauseam Pie Fight, but like Paris itself, there is something for just about...
...really not difficult. She takes bits and pieces from rock, electronica and hip-hop, and mixes them with a brazen, no-holds-barred sexuality.

That admission is the show...
...reference all the "modern" art styles of the beginnings of the modern age. Though ostensibly located in London, visually Mattotti has moved the action to Weimar Berlin. Filled with grotesque faces and crippled veterans, Mattotti evokes the world depicted by such "degenerate" German artists as George Grosz and Otto Dix. Other scenes take on the fractured look of Braque and Picasso's cubist work. His lines curve and twist, zig and zag, constantly delighting the eye but never losing form. Using an ochre-colored brush for the outlines and masterful shading with colored pencils Mattotti has created one the most...
...left really expect Bush to stock his Cabinet with Democratic appointees? In time, Bush will garner support among objective Democrats, and the country will recognize his leadership skills. Then the childish assertions of the far left will fall on deaf ears. MARK D. MEANEY Dix Hills...
