Eddie Lucio Jr., an advertising executive and state senator, is backing Clinton, but his son and namesake, a newly minted state representative, has endorsed Obama.

Short of materials, he turned to the abundant supply of burlap in the camp and used it as a canvas.

It was the burlap paintings that first drew the attention of American art critics to Burri in the early '50s; a young Robert Rauschenberg came to Rome to watch...
