Back in May, a New York Times Magazine article, “Armies of the Right: The Young Hipublicans,” highlighted the growing numbers of campus conservatives, citing polls that show a decided rightward tilt in the political views of college freshmen. According to the article, in 1995, 66 percent of college students believed the rich should be taxed at a higher rate. Only 50 percent believed the same in 2002.

Under the crouching trees, the focal point is a menacing dandelion. The implicit dread is more than merely romantic - imagine a soundtrack of German bombers. Dogged for years by severe asthma, Nash died in 1946 of pneumonia, aged 57. The last painting in the show is Farewell (1944), a moment of calm after the bombing raids and the high summer heat.
