Coats of injustice

By Alyson Brodsy and Teri Rosenbaum · Sunday, Nov. 19,2006 10:55 p.m.

In 1776, Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal. This was one of the most crucial elements of American democracy, created back when our nation was an emaciated baby with a big head. (But not cute like TomKat's or Brangelina's baby. Probably more like what I imagine Conan O'Brien and Calista Flockhart's pilgrim love-child would look like.)

Courbet exhibit in Maryland spotlights painter's innovations

By Alyson Brodsy and Ben Nuckols · Thursday, Nov. 16,2006 12:02 a.m.

BALTIMORE -- When Gustave Courbet painted "The Stream of the Puits Noir," or black well, he emphasized the noir. The picture is drenched in black to the point of near-abstraction. It offers a primordial view of nature, yet it's more seductive than foreboding. "Courbet and the Modern Landscape," an exhibition on display at the Walters Art Museum, makes the case for Courbet (1819-1877) as a radical. Best known for his realist, figural pictures such as "Burial at Ornans," Courbet churned out countless landscapes in his late career, but many of them were painted by assistants with only a brief touchup by the master.

In it for kicks

By Rorye O'Connor and Rorye O'Conner · Thursday, Nov. 16,2006 12 a.m.

Iuri Santos pulled back his long dreadlocks and wordlessly chose a partner from the row of performers playing a lively beat on several instruments. He silently delegated the switching of instruments from the chosen opponent to another member still playing music, then, along with his partner, knelt in front of the others and performed a set of synchronized prayer-like movements. Santos and his partner faced each other and touched palms before breaking away and beginning their competition.
