...used deceptively playful images to deal with the darker issues of the times he lived in. One of the highlights of the exhibition is Klee's Angelus Novus, on loan from the Israel Museum in Jerusalem until the end of December. Rarely seen outside of Israel, the watercolor, depicting a strange creature that is part bird, part man and part angel, has sparked various interpretations over the years. Its former owner, the German philosopher Walter Benjamin, believed that it represented the Angel of History. According to another theory, the painting was inspired by Adolf Hitler, who lived in Munich...
Deep in the Prado Museum's massive new Goya exhibition hangs a muted watercolor titled One Can't Look. Completed some time in the years before 1815, it depicts a prisoner, his torso draped in cloth, with ropes dangling from his tensed limbs. There is no hood over his head, no box beneath his feet, and what initially appear to be outstretched arms turn out, upon closer inspection, to be tattered folds of cloth.

CLARIFICATIONS:The March 18 news article "Watercolor Memories" did not completely represent the topic of Deena S.Shakir's '08 thesis. Although Shakir did interview first generation Arab-Americans as the article stated, her thesis is focused on the change in Arab identity since Sept. 11. The article also provided an incomplete view of Shakir's opinion of Iraq. Although she did say, "I would blame Saddam as much as America for the way Iraq is now," Shakir is not "ambivalent" about the "results of [American] invasion," as the article stated, but places blame for the state of Iraq...
