A blue curtain now covers the reproduction of Picasso's monumental anti-war painting, Guernica, that hangs in the United Nations, the Village Voice's Alisa Solomon reports. "How
disconcerting, how off-message, it would be
after all, if Secretary of State Colin Powell or
UN ambassador John Negroponte had to
beat the war drums in front of Picasso's
wrenching images of women and children
writhing in cubistic dismemberment under a
bombing campaign," she writes.
