...this week, Banksy may have been unmasked. A camera-phone photograph of a man painting on the side of a building in Bethnal Green, East London could be the first image of the guerrilla artist. The photo shows a man appearing to work on a mural of yellow lines that snake down the street, hop a curb and bloom into a flower climbing a wall. In the photo, the man dons blue jeans and sneakers and a dark green jacket. What appears to be a spray-paint mask is perched atop his head. (See pictures of Banksy...

Politicians still paint American Gothic portraits of the country folk who toil in the soil to grow our food and fiber.

It’s already Week 7, the time of year when squads’ true characters are revealed, when the metaphorical face paint peels off and the metaphorical papier mache comes unstuck. In the thick of the Ivy League schedule, the contenders separate themselves from the pretenders, cute as they may be in their fake furry tails and big glasses with rubber noses attached...
...have a second career as a painter. Has any particular style influenced you? -Edward Romero, MadridI am a big fan of the Impressionists, and in my school days, I was inspired by Caravaggio, Vel?zquez and Rembrandt. All the early influences are still there, but I tried to take my painting in a different way - towards an Expressionist form. I love to get into a landscape and paint my horses. When I come to London, I go to the Royal Opera House and paint the ballerinas. I love the human form, and I like to capture movement in everything that...
