...mural panels in front of Dunster back in their proper order. As much fun as we might have trying to sound out what they say now ("Lev-duns-ma-rett?"), the aesthetic effects are less than pleasing. If the construction must continue, at least we could have something coherent to look at when we stare out our windows at 7 a.m., cursing the day jackhammers were invented...
...painting in Leverett Dining Hall. This garish work was commissioned by the Leverett House master in 1990. The artist, Jerald Webster, made three paintings and the master chose which one his house would display. I can only imagine how ugly the other two must have been. 2. The mural in Quincy Dining Hall.

...Klee, and if the book has a fault, it's that it stints on his formative punk years in the '70s and '80s, assuming everyone has read Ashley Crawford and Ray Edgar's Spray: The Work of Howard Arkley (1997). As they documented, it was his 1981 mural Primitive, named after a song by The Cramps, that saw Arkley paint his way from an abstract to a figurative style. Perhaps it was his life-long love of doodling that drew him to the airbrush, but this isn't something the new book makes clear. Instead, Gregory (and Smith...
