Abu
Ghraib 67 |
Fernando
Botero, the most famous living Latin American artist,
will display his Abu Ghraib paintings at the University of
California, Berkeley.
These 47 paintings and drawings belong to a long tradition
of artistic statements against war and violence that include
Goya's Caprichos and Picasso's Guernica.
Organized
by the Center for Latin American Studies, these paintings
have never been displayed in a public institution in the
United States. The exhibit was "proposed to many
museums in the U.S," according to the artist,
but all
declined to show it.
