  • The best thing about this article is the term, applied to Fairey, “budding rascal”.

    I have two sons, and they are both budding rascals, I just never knew it before.

  • The big name critics can’t seem to be able to figure out this show. The TIMES reviewed it this week, and I understand from a highly credible source the author admitted to not having even heard about Shepard before the Obama poster. Doesn’t that along discredit everything about what he has to say about the show? I suspect Schjeldahl, who is a GREAT writer, is equally qualified.
