...course, our eyes are prepared for it by modern art. The Flag Gate, found in Jefferson County, N.Y., with its wavy battens of red-painted wood delicately mimicking the ripple of fabric stripes in a breeze, inevitably suggests Jasper Johns' flag paintings, but that is only an accident. Likewise, a deliciously anthropomorphic wool winder (see cut), with a human head and the hub of a decorated worm gear for its belly button, predicts the surreal wooden constructions of H.C. Westermann. And then there are the quilts. The best products of America's 19th century women quilt makers anticipate...
...based his Return from the Flight Into Egypt on a Flemish engraving after Rubens. By the time he died, just before the fall of the dynasty, Mu'in was the only significant traditional artist left. Persian painting had been exposed to a variety of new influences, but the social fabric was too weak to support the emergence of a genuine fusion...
...expansive labor under Israeli management, and the cultivation of the young Israeli nouveau riche sector who profited immensly from the enormous defense expenditures in the last six years.

Humble Burlap. For one tapestry, Miró picked up a metal stencil for the letter G and splashed it on upside down in brown against bright yellow canvas. Then he hung the stencil itself on the fabric-also upside down. A handy whisk broom was slapped onto another tapestry. Working on a third, Miró's eye lit upon an empty paint bucket; he rammed it into the composition then, as an afterthought, added a fake spill of paint made of canvas. He proposed scorching certain areas to darken the hemp, and soon the studio flared with gouts...
