...flier she handed me was the biggest scare I received all night. Entitled “This Was Your Life,” it depicts, in cartoon form, a man going to his final judgment. All his actions replay on a giant screen. One image shows a woman walking by. The man is lurking behind a wall. “Ummm nice!” he says. “But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart,” states the Biblical...
...Ekekezie ’08 said. Ekezie said she was impressed by the medium used by Sally H. Rinehart ’09. Rinehart used Avery sticky dots—small circular adhesive labels, to compose two parallel portraits in different sets of colors, resulting in a unique form of pointillism, the style often associated with Georges-Pierre Seurat. Artist Katherine M. Bringsjord ’09 referred to her piece as a “psychological self-portrait.” Mounted next to a depiction of herself—which shows Bringsjord posed in front of a refrigerator...
...Missed Opportunity? As Nancy Gibbs put it, the city of new York prevented Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from laying a wreath at ground zero because New Yorkers were revolted by "the prospect of a tyrant's hand touching sacred ground" [Oct. 8].

Hints at autobiographical despair culminate in the revelation that the only solace from a painful world is found on the glossy surface of mass-produced bond paper.The novel...
...Brazil is a particularly rich source of religious art, because during the 17th and 18th centuries it was the only art form encouraged by the country's devoutly Catholic rulers. In the states of Bahia and Pernambuco in the northeast, and Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro in the south, Portuguese settlers built baroque churches dripping with gold, silver and art. But today, much of that art is gone. "The last time I checked, we had registered 188 works of art stolen - that's since 2000," says Vanessa de Souza, a Brazilian police chief and delegate to Interpol. "We think...
