Klee liked to make clear what sort of elements each painting was based on, as a composer states what key he is writing in. There were dot paintings, square paintings, crosshatch paintings and linear ones. The grammar of his compositions was always explicit but, at the same time, often surprising. He loved ruins, ideal scenery, viaducts, pyramids and everything that seemed both ancient and vulnerable: the stability of the pyramidal mountain in Ad Parnassum, 1932 (which translates as "To Parnassus," the mythical mountain of Apollo and the Muses), is decidedly undermined by being constructed from a faux mosaic of minuscule...
...writing about Wal-Mart today because, counterintuitively, Wal-Mart is the business story of the last decade.

...thousands more, including most of the commanders and the bulk of al Qaeda, simply melted away. Hundreds are suspected to have crossed into Pakistan. But many more shaved their beards, ditched their black turbans and bought safe refuge in the myriad out-of-the-way villages and hamlets that dot the Afghan countryside...
