[lbo-talk] Abu Ghraib inspires artist Fernando Botero

[Cseniornyc at aol.com]

And where was "Senor" Botero during  Stalingrad,Guernica,etc......
What kind of comment is this? Do you Senor Dawson expect him to be  
everywhere, every time genocide is committed?
I am usually, for reasons of time, just a lurker, but I have been observing  
with curiosity and indignation how Michael Dawson systematically attacks  
everyone in the left from Churchill, other members of the list and now Fernando  
Botero,so I couldn't resist this time. I don't remember him pursuing right  
wingers with the same zest. Amazing!
Fernando Botero is just trying to be a good artist: someone who comments on  
the big events of our times, who offers visions and new perspectives on them  
with a good command of visual technique. Why aren't American artists pursuing  
the themes of empire is a good question?
