...UNTIL 1965, SCHULZ PROVIDED unconventional commentary in the national margins. He set out consciously never to settle issues raised by the strip and never to bring in issues from outside. He never made overt political statements through "Peanuts." He remained apart from specific social and political causes, never joining the battle of ideas.

...domestic politics. Indeed, both the Gore and the Bush campaigns committed themselves during the election to moving the embassy, but they may be reluctant to stir up Arab hostility - particularly if that translated into higher oil prices.

Because Gilje alternates more subtle "restorations" with overt ones, even an uninformed viewer will catch onto her game. Gilje's work makes you realize how quickly we scan images and, as a result, how much we miss. She asks that we reconsider the act of looking at paintings from the past, and perhaps art in general. No small mental task, but one well worth the effort, both...
