...True to Okamoto's trademark expression - "Art is an explosion!" - Myth of Tomorrow depicts the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, drawing comparisons from some critics to Picasso's Guernica, which illustrates the 1937 firebombings of that Spanish city.

The white-tiled station wall has thus transformed into a burning landscape, swirling with hues of red, yellow and black...

At Restaurante Baserri Maitea outside Guernica, Juan Antonio Zaldúa served us one gigantic Rubia Gallega (Galician Blonde) rib-eye chop and an even bigger, more marbled German one. Marbling is largely genetic and, as an indicator of quality, a myth; it signals juiciness but not flavor. The leaner, leggy Galician Blonde was just as tender as the fattier German. Zaldúa claims that the sum qualities of an individual animal - feed, upbringing, genetics - are more important than breed or regional origin...
