With students lulled by temperate temperatures and sunny skies, Sunday’s blizzard brought a rude reminder of winter’s cold touch—and that ever-pressing question of what to wear. Faced with slushy, icy terrain on the Monday morning commute, students broke out bulky jackets and the occasional pair of moon boots. Shorts and flip-flops, which have been spotted around campus throughout the mild winter months, were definitely out. The cold snap brought confusion to some students’ outfits. “Sunday, I saw people running around in shorts, jumping...

War (1894) is a large work with a simple message: war is bad. A woman rides sidesaddle over the dead through devastated terrain, waving a sword and a blazing torch. It is unquestionably weird, but the artist has used shape and color, especially the dead black of ravens, horse and drooping leaves, in an abstract way that was admired by painter Paul Gauguin. Eventually, Rousseau was adopted by an avant-garde circle that...
