He is the party's pick if the Republican juggernaut succeeds in driving his unpopular boss, Governor Gray Davis, out of office.

Ever the master colorist, he conjured up an eerie, otherworldly radiance, as in Masks at Twilight, by combining black, milky blue and muddy reddish-brown. The spellbinding A Gate shimmers with silvery moonlight, created with white and gray tempera washes on black-painted paper. Despite the gravity of his condition, Klee never lost his magical powers of enchantment or playful sense of humor. In Bacchanale With Red Wine, unsteady hieroglyphs seem woozily afloat on their grape-purple burlap background. In Animals Meet, the body of a cat with...
