...person, Mitchell is neither as surreal nor as opaque as his metaphors. He started our interview by asking me how I was doing, what kinds of classes I was taking and what I wanted to do with my life after I graduated. When not behind a keyboard or podium, he seems to spend more time asking undergraduates to discuss their film opinions than he does talking about...

This is my first time sharing a bomb shelter with Vietnamese, and it makes the experience all the more surreal. I feel unspeakably guilty to be taking up space and the attention of two doctors while my country is attacking theirs.

...Indeed, crucifixions are one of the major themes of the show, even though neither Picasso nor Bacon was at all religious. In a 1992 interview, Bacon called Picasso's crucifixion scenes "still my favorite of his works." Picasso's oil-on-wood Crucifixion (1930) is a vibrant, surreal retelling of the Calvary story, with cross, nails, lance, weeping women and garments being divided by dice-throwers. Bacon's interpretation, Second Version of Triptych 1944: Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion, ignores all this action - even the cross - and concentrates instead on three anguished black-and-white...
