Obama, Romney Duel Over Status President, opponent try to stick rich-guy label on each other 8eYW HWjed" <bW$ One candidate is worth up to $250 million, ran a private equity firm and plans to build an elevator for the cars at his beach house.

The other is the former head of the Harvard Law Review who became a best-selling author and millionaire and now lives in the world’s most famous mansion — 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Just don’t expect Mitt Romney and President Obama to embrace their elite status. In a campaign year when populism sells, they are trying to stick the rich guy label on each other, making clear that being wealthy and privileged is not necessarily a political asset when you’re running for president in this uncertain economy.

President Obama, traveling to battleground Florida, opened a new push by Democrats on Tuesday to increase taxes on millionaires, emphasizing a fight with Repub-

“first president in history to openly campaign for re-election on a platform of higher taxes,” and the Republican National Committee called the idea of higher taxes on millionaires a “political distraction” that would do little to cure the nation’s debt problem.

'/&C# (+&C The amount Mitt Romney is worth, according to filings. Presidential candidates have to disclose broad outlines of their holdings, but it’s possible to discern only a wide range. Romney’s campaign has estimated that he is paying more than $6.2 million in taxes on $45 million in income for the past two years.

'$.C# '(C The amount President Obama is worth, made mostly from sales of his books “Dreams From My Father” and “The Audacity of Hope.” Romney and Obama are considered wealthy by any standard.

licans. The proposal stands little chance of passing in Congress but serves as a stark general election contrast with Romney.

“We’ve got to choose which direction we want this country to go,” Obama told a boisterous audience of students at Florida Atlantic University. Obama is pitching the “Buffett rule,” named after billionaire investor Warren Buffett, which proposes that people earn-

ing at least $1 million annually — whether in salary or investments — should pay at least 30 percent of their income in taxes.

Romney, who opposes the plan, has faced withering criticism from Democrats who try to paint him as a ruthless financier who has paid lower tax rates unavailable to typical middle class families.

Romney campaign spokeswoman Gail Gitcho said Obama was the

“I’m achieving the goals that I’ve always dreamed about. I’m becoming the person I’ve always wanted to be. Through my studies at Trinity, I am obtaining success.”

Major wireless service companies have agreed to disable cell phones after they are reported stolen under a strategy intended to deter the theft and resale of wireless devices.

The system announced Tuesday relies on a centralized database that officials hope to be operating within six months. The database will record smartphones’ unique identifying numbers. That way, wireless carriers that receive a report of a stolen smartphone will be able to recognize the device and block it from being used again.

“We’re sending a message to consumers that we’ve got your back and a message to criminals that we’re cracking down on the sto-

Many of the robberies result in serious injury and some end in death, police say. (AP)

len phone” market, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski said in announcing the new strategy with several big-city police chiefs and a wireless industry representative.

Cell phone carriers covering roughly 90 percent of U.S. subscribers are participating, the FCC said.

The goal is to render stolen cell phones useless, drying up the

market for them and removing the incentive to steal them.

“What we’re announcing here today will make a stolen cell phone about as worthless as an empty wallet,” said Sen. Charles Schumer, who called smartphones “catnip for criminals” because they’re valuable, exposed and easy to steal.

Officials wouldn’t say how much the initiative would cost.

Zimmerman’s Lawyers Drop Case EhbWdZe Two attorneys for the Florida neighborhood watch volunteer who fatally shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin said Tuesday that they have withdrawn as his counsel because they have lost contact with him and he is taking actions related to the case without consulting them.

Attorney Craig Sonner and Hal Uhrig said at a news conference they haven’t heard from George Zimmerman since Sunday. They said that against their advice, Zimmerman contacted the special prosecutor who will decide if he should face charges. A spokeswoman for Angela Corey’s office didn’t immediately respond to an email and two phone calls.

ney Zimmerman contacted, said he agreed to take the case on a pro bono basis until Zimmerman is perhaps charged.

Sonner said he has never talked to Zimmerman face-to-face and that the 28-year-old man has gone into hiding but that he believes he’s still in the U.S. Both attorneys said they’d be willing to represent him again if he asks.

Ben Crump, an attorney for Martin’s family, said they’re concerned that Zimmerman could be a f light risk if he is charged with a crime since his now-former attorneys don’t know how to contact him.

“At this point, we’re just conc e r ne d t h a t nob o d y k no w s where he is at. Nobody knows how to get to him,” Crump said.

The stock market extended its longest and deepest slump of the year Tuesday, caught between a recurring nightmare of European debt and the beginning of uncertain corporate earnings reports at home.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 213.66 points, its biggest decline of the year and third tripledigit loss in four days. It closed at 12,715.93, its lowest since Feb. 2.

The first three months of this year were the best for stocks since 1998, but investors have found plenty to fret about in April.

The losing streak began last

Tuesday, when the Federal Reserve said it was worried about the strength of job growth and suggested it was not inclined to provide further help for the economy.

8[_`_d] A flamboyant and telegenic politician who until recently seemed destined for the top ranks of China’s leadership was stripped of his most powerful posts on Tuesday and his wife named in the murder of a British businessman as Chinese leaders moved to stem a scandal that has exposed divisive infighting.

Announcements carried by state media said Bo Xilai, the former the party chief of Chongqing, has been suspended from the party’s 25-member Politburo and the larger Central Committee on suspicion of involvement in “serious

The recent allegations that Heywood had been murdered, Xinhua reported, prompted Chinese authorities to reinvestigate.

Heywood’s death in November was initially blamed on excessive drinking, something friends of his have said he was not known to do.

While the British government had not sought an investigation, it welcomed the new probe.

Bo’s removal now raises questions about what had looked like a smooth transition to new leaders when President Hu Jintao and most other members of the current Politburo Standing Committee begin stepping down later this year.

“A political succession that seemed completely predictable has been upended,” said June Teufel Dreyer, a China expert at University of Miami. “We may be in for more surprises.” GILLIAN WONG (AP)

8WYaijeho Bo Xilai was the Communist Party chief for Chongqing, and until recently considered a contender for the highest ranks of party power. Bo’s career began unraveling in February after an aide fled to a U.S. Consulate.

A month later, Bo was dismissed from his Chongqing post. The same tactic was used in 2006 against Shanghai’s party secretary Chen Liangyu, who was later sentenced to 18 years in prison for various acts of corruption. (AP)

discipline violations.”

Bo’s wife, Gu Kailai, is being investigated for intentional homicide of Briton Neil Heywood, who died in November in Chongqing, the Xinhua News Agency said.

Bo is the most senior Chinese leader to be suspended from the Politburo in six years. His publicity-seeking ways angered some in the top leadership, however. In

recent weeks, allegations of Bo’s and his family’s misdeeds leaked into public view, threatening to complicate preparations by the leadership for a delicate, once-adecade transition to younger leaders at a congress later this year.

“This means the political career of Bo Xilai is over,” said Cheng Li of the Brookings Institution in Washington.

Syria Defies Cease-Fire Deadline 8[_hkj Syrian troops defied a U.N.-brokered cease-fire plan Tuesday, launching fresh attacks on rebellious areas, but special envoy Kofi Annan said there was still time to salvage a truce that he described as the only chance for peace.

More than a year into the Syrian uprising, the international community has nearly run out of options for halting the slide toward civil war. On Tuesday, Annan insisted his peace initiative remains “very much alive” — in part because there is no viable alternative.

The U.N. has ruled out any military intervention, and rounds of sanctions and other attempts to isolate President Bashar Assad have done little to stop the bloodshed.

Egyptian Court Suspends Constitution Committee 9W_he An Egyptian court on Tuesday suspended a 100-member panel selected by lawmakers from the Islamistdominated parliament and tasked with drafting the country’s new constitution.

The ruling was a blow to the Islamists, who have catapulted into the center of Egypt’s political stage since the ouster 14 months ago of longtime authoritarian leader Hosni Mubarak. It followed complaints by political groups, secular politicians and experts over parliament’s decision to give lawmakers half the seats on the panel.

Islamist lawmakers, combined with like-minded individuals selected from outside parliament, ended up with more than 60 seats on the panel. But about two dozen members of the committee — many of them from liberal groups that engineered the anti-Mubarak uprising — have quit the committee, protesting the selection process. More have threatened to walk out, saying the dispute will cast a shadow on the constitution’s legitimacy.

In its verdict Tuesday, the Cairo Administrative Court said the way the committee was picked violated a constitutional declaration adopted in a referendum last year. (AP)

M^[Wjed I[j \eh El[h^Wkb Montgomery County Council OKs plan for project above bus bays :[l[befc[dj The Montgomery County Council on Tuesday voted unanimously for a plan to build a new headquarters for the Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission in downtown Wheaton — part of a broader effort to jump-start the revitalization of a diverse community that has long sought an economic boost.

The vote came despite efforts

by County Executive Isiah Leggett and his staff to lobby the council to support a more ambitious plan to build as many as three office buildings and a hotel on top of a platform to be built above the Metro bus bays. Council members said they thought the plan to build new offices for the park and planning commission at Reedie Drive and Grandview Avenue would be the fastest — and least risky — way to bring more people to Wheaton’s downtown.

“We are going to make something happen faster that is real, that is boots on the ground, that is not speculative,” Council president Roger Berliner said. “This is a good day for Wheaton.”

The council and Leggett have been at odds over the best strategy for revitalizing Wheaton’s aging downtown.

Leggett’s staff argued that his plan was more cost effective.

Under Leggett’s plan, the county would spend about $42 million — $39.5 million to build a platform above the Metro bus bays to accommodate the offices and hotel and

$2.5 million to pay for a town square to be built on a parking lot at Reedie Drive and Grandview Avenue. However, developer B.F. Saul might contribute as much as $250 million to build other elements of the project, said David Dise, director of the county’s office of general services.

The price tag might increase to $89 million if the county opted to buy rather than lease office space, he added.

“We’re aware of the grand future of Wheaton,’’ said Council member Nancy Floreen, D-At Large. “I have no reason to believe that the private sector won’t continue to be very interested in this.”

This is Melinda Peters’ first construction season as administrator of the agency responsible for state roads, but she has spent a lot of time around highway projects — most recently as the direc-

Her message was pretty simple: “Slow down and pay careful attention behind the wheel,” she said. “Our goal is to get everyone — drivers and workers — home safely at the end of the day.

3 in Md. to Split Jackpot 8Wbj_ceh[ Two Maryland teachers and a school office worker who pooled their money to buy lottery tickets and call themselves “The Three Amigos,” won the record-breaking Mega Millions jackpot and will split the $105 million prize, lottery officials said Tuesday.

Stephen Martino, the state’s lottery director, said that the trio — one of whom is a frequent lottery player, one of whom is an occasional scratch player, and one who virtually never plays the lotto — each contributed $20 and bought 60 tickets from three different locations.

Martino said the winners have chosen to remain anonymous.

Three winning tickets were sold nationally, with a jackpot of $656 million.

Martino said that one of the

three winners held on to all 60 tickets and spread them out on her floor on the night of the drawing.

“When she saw she had the winning number and collected herself from her state of disbelief,” she contacted one of the other winners and they called the third together, Martino said. The last winner to be notified thought it was an early April Fool’s joke.

They have all indicated that they want to continue working in Maryland schools, Martino said. MAGGIE

Arlington County’s police chief has acknowledged a pattern of internal memos dating back years that direct officers to make a minimum number of arrests and issue a cer-

tain number of traffic citations each month.

Chief M. Douglas Scott said that the memos did not amount to a quota system but they could be interpreted that way. He has called quotas “professionally unsound.”

Winning numbers are official only when validated at a lottery claim location. Drawings that occur after Express’ deadline will be published two days later.

M^o Dem5 Rick Santorum had hoped to keep his campaign going through the Pennsylvania primary on April 24, but decided to fold after his severely ill 3-year-old daughter, Bella, spent the weekend in the hospital. Bella Santorum suffers from a rare genetic condition called Trisomy 18, which means she has three copies of the 18th chromosome instead of two.

That causes abnormalities in the development of the brain, heart and other internal organs, doctors say. Bella has already lived nearly four times the lifespan her doctors predicted due to the condition.

In a recent interview, Santorum even sa id he wa s open to t he possibility of becoming Romney’s running mate. Still, he seems an unlikely choice for Romney.

Santorum likes to compare himself to President Ronald Reagan, a fellow conservative who happens to have lost his own first bid for the party’s nomination before a landslide victory four years later. The comparison suggests Santorum might expect better chances for himself in 2016, should Obama win re-election.

Santorum’s exit doesn’t greatly change Obama’s calculus. The president and his campaign have been expecting to face Romney all along and have already been targeting him.

Yet the departure of Romney’s chief GOP rival means this is the point where the Obama campaign will engage even more heavily. (AP)

LYNNE SLADKY/AP

— MARLINS MANAGER OZZIE GUILLEN, APOLOGIZING TUESDAY FOR HIS COMMENTS ON FIDEL CASTRO

Ozzie Guillen spoke mostly in Spanish during his news conference Tuesday, when he apologized for his comments on Fidel Castro.

Reeling Marlin Fhe 8Wi[XWbb Chastened Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen sat alone at a podium and began in Spanish, then halted in the middle of a sentence when his voice wavered. He took a sip of water and cleared his throat, then continued.

Suspended for five games Tuesday because of his comments lauding Fidel Castro, Guillen again apologized and said he’ll do whatever he can to repair relations with Cuban-Americans angered by the remarks.

“I’m very sorry about the problem, what happened,” said Guillen, who is only five games into his tenure with the Marlins. “I will do everything in my power to make it better. ... I know it’s going to be

a very bumpy ride.”

The suspension by the team takes effect immediately. It was announced shortly before Guillen held a news conference to explain what he said.

Guillen, a 48-year-old Venezuelan, told Time magazine he loves Castro and respects the retired Cuban leader for staying in power so long. In response, at least two local officials said Guillen should lose his job.

At the news conference, Guillen said his comments were misinterpreted by the reporter, and that he doesn’t love or admire the dictator.

“I was saying I cannot believe somebody who hurt so many people over the years is still alive,” Guillen said at the news conference.

T here wa s no i m med iate response to an Associated Press request for comment from government and sports officials in Cuba.

Dej^_d] D[m Polarizing comments are nothing new for Ozzie Guillen, who once used a gay slur referring to a reporter and has defended illegal immigrants. Just last week, he said he drinks to excess after road games and has done so for years. Guillen has also praised Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, a controversial figure. (AP)

WALTER MICHOT/MIAMI HERALD VIA AP

Guillen is suspended 5 games for making pro-Castro remarks

Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig said he supported the decision to suspend Guillen. He called Guillen’s remarks in the magazine “offensive to an important part of the Miami community and others throughout the world” and “have no place in our game.”

Guillen took responsibility for the uproar, and said it left him sad and embarrassed. He also said he accepted the team’s punishment.

The team didn’t consider firing Guillen or asking him to resign, Marlins President David Samson said. “We believe in him,” Samson said. “We believe in his apology. We believe everybody deserves a second chance. Politics are a conversation I don’t think you’re going to be hearing more about from Ozzie.”

The suspension recalled the punishment given to Marge Schott, the late owner of the Cincinnati Reds.

<_h[Z Kf _d C_Wc_ This week’s firestorm came shortly after the Marlins opened their ballpark last week in the Little Havana neighborhood of Miami. The team is trying to rebuild its fan base with the help of South Florida’s large Cuban-American population. Outside the ballpark, about 100 demonstrators wanting Ozzie Guillen’s ouster shouted and chanted during Tuesday’s news conference. (AP)

Schott so embarrassed baseball in the 1990s with inflammatory racial remarks and fond recollections of Adolf Hitler that she was suspended from ownership duties for a season.

About 100 reporters, photographers and cameramen attended Guillen’s news conference. He sat alone at the podium and began in Spanish, speaking without notes for several minutes before taking questions.

Shortly after he started, his voice wavered in the middle of a sentence, and he paused to take a sip of water and clear his throat.

“This is the biggest mistake I’ve made so far in my life,” Guillen said. “I’ve let my down my Latin community.” STE VEN WINE (AP)

Wishful Thinking For the Capitals You know those teams that are on the ropes, but their opponents fail to deliver the knockout punch?

Sure you do. Normally, it’s the Capitals who are grasping defeat from the jaws of victory. And that’s part of the reason why D.C. sports fans’ recent summers have been full of melancholy.

Now, though, the skate seems to be on the other foot.

8o CWjj Washington, as we Im[died all know, stumbled through a regular season in which it fired coach Bruce Boudreau and struggled to grasp new coach Dale Hunter’s style of play.

?\ j^[ 9WfiÊ Ô efi jWk]^j ki ed[ j^_d]" _jÊi j^Wj cWa_d] j^[ feiji[Wied ]_l[i [WY^ j[Wc W i^ej$ The rest of the NHL had a chance to send one of the league’s top stars, Alex Ovechkin, back to Russia for the offseason before he found his old form.

Now it may be too late, and the Boston Bruins could be just the first team to rue that lost opportunity when the first-round series begins on Thursday.

The Capitals earned their way into the postseason, winning four of their last five games. Few expect them, as the No. 7 seed, to win a series, though, let alone the Stanley Cup. If the Caps’ flops have taught us one thing, it’s that making the postseason gives each team as good a shot as any at advancing.

This may be a pipe dream, but then again, Ovechkin finished the worst season of his career on a good note.

Why can’t the Caps follow his lead?

“You definitely don’t get sick of hearing him talk — because he doesn’t talk a whole lot,” defenseman Karl Alzner said. “So when he does talk it’s pretty important to make sure you listen to it.”

That goes without saying. Literally. After four playoff runs with a coach who would talk your ear off, the Capitals enter this postseason with a leader who keeps his answers short, gives his assistants more authority and saves his speeches for when he really needs them.

Washington took that concept a full 360 degrees.

They’ve been in the playoffs; they know what it’s about.”

Hunter’s record so far is a very average 30-23-7, but the Capitals won four of their last five to earn a postseason spot. Now it’s time to see if his approach can work in the playoffs.

“Right now it doesn’t matter if he’s talking or he’s not,” two-time MVP Alex Ovechkin said. “The most important thing is if you understand him or not.” JOSEPH WHITE (AP)

Comedy in Reverse When I visited Los Angeles in February, I was at a comedy show a few hours after landing. Jet-lagged and groggy, I sat on stage at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, struggling to stay awake.

Then Moshe Kasher came out to do 10 minutes of stand-up. He talked about how both his parents were deaf, and he told a particularly hilarious story about blowing all his bar mitzvah money — $1,500 — on a phone sex bill. Even though I was reaching the point 8o HkZ_ of visual hallucination, =h[[dX[h] his set stuck with me.

Two nights later, I saw him again, and he said he had a memoir coming out.

“Kasher in the Rye,” about how he became a drug addict, criminal and mental patient before turning 16, is a humorous account of a miserable childhood. (Kasher, 32, is sober now.)

Seventy pages in, he tells the phone sex story, which made me wonder if he took his act and turned it into the book.

“Quite the opposite,” Kasher told me last month. “What you saw that night is the beginning of my reverse engineering of this book into my stand-up act.” It’s a fascinating concept, and considering the subject matter, he likely won’t be running out of new material anytime soon.

DWoiWo[hiÊ 7cce

<_bc Just a few years ago, Hollywood filmmakers and moguls could be seen on the hustings, going city to city trying to convince critics, media reporters and theater owners that 3-D would save a floundering movie industry. How better to coax audiences out of their home entertainment centers than with a souped-up visual experience they could have only in theaters — at a nearly 50 percent markup on the ticket price?

Their refrain was so redolent of the 1950s it was difficult to believe they were speaking in the 21st century: 3-D! It’s the future!

If 3-D is the future, I’m over it.

No evangelist was more passionate than DreamWorks Animation chief Jeffrey Katzenberg, who

“The Green Hornet” exemplified “Clash of the Titans”-level postconversion grubbery.

Pixar’s “Cars 2” was a rare nonstarter for the Tiffany studio.

Does anyone remember — much less care — that the “Harry Potter” finale was in 3-D?

7i Wd [b[c[dj e\ ijob[" )#: ^Wi ]ejj[d Yeeb[h$ 8kj _jÊi Wbie beij _ji ^[Wj" jWa_d] ed W \ehcWb i[h_ekid[ii Wj j^[ [nf[di[ e\ \kd$

stopped by Washington some years ago on his 3-D crusade. With highend production and presentation values, he argued, 3-D was on the verge of becoming as subtle and essential a filmmaking element as cinematography and music.

Katzenberg has been proved both right and wrong in the ensuing years. He was correct about the recent onslaught of 3-D movies. His more grandiose point — that 3-D would migrate from being a cheap stunt to a legitimate part of cinematic grammar — has had more trouble finding purchase, although some recent films have admittedly used it to subtle, expressive and exhilarating effect.

Still, whether as a commercial

lifeboat for a movie industry desperate to get tushies in theater seats or as a simple aesthetic element, the all-important third dimension quite simply has not lived up to Katzenberg’s evangelical zeal. That sobering reality was driven home over the past few weeks when two movies — coming from opposed poles of the cinematic spectrum — tried and failed to make 3-D work.

“Wrath of the Titans” arrived in part as penance for “Clash of the Titans,” the disastrously cheaplooking 2010 swords-and-sandals adventure that had been sloppily converted into 3-D. This year’s sequel at least had the benefit of being filmed in 3-D. But, aside from an odd serpent biting through the screen, the benefits of the effect were negligible.

“Titanic,” James Cameron’s 1997 action-adventure-romance-nautical-biopic, celebrated its 15th anniversary with the filmmaker taking it in for a 3-D reboot, with similarly moot results. Seeing “Titanic” in 3-D makes the experience no more immediate or enveloping than the original; if anything, the glasses give viewers more distance from the events they experienced so intimately and vicariously in the first place.

As an element of style, 3-D has gotten cooler. But it’s also lost its heat, taking on formal seriousness at the expense of fun. Consider: This year, not only will we see Spider-Man and Katy Perry in 3-D but “The Great Gatsby” as well, suggesting that spectators may need a dose of Dramamine before they’re borne back ceaselessly into the past.

EDITOR’S PICKS

ZHANG KUN

Luo Zhongli became one of the country’s most celebrated artists for his depictions of farmers, but his ongoing retrospective reveals stylistic changes that divide critics, Zhang Zixuan reports.

H

is mouth opens with chapped lips. His eyes exude worry and exhaustion.

Gullied wrinkles carve his swarthy face, carrying beads of sweat that are about to fall.

The tea in the bowl his rough hands hold has become turbid.

The Super Realistic image of a traditional Chinese farmer was painted in a Sichuan Fine Arts Institute dorm during the summer vacation of 1980. Luo Zhongli, then a junior, didn’t expect his painting named Father would win gold at the coming Second National Youth Art Exhibition, and eventually become a milestone in Chinese modern art history. Nor did he anticipate the controversy that would swirl around the work after its debut.

The residue of the “cultural revolution” (1966-76) still remained in the early 1980s.

One accusation said Luo’s painting “smeared the image of laborers”. More vitally, this old farmer’s face was rendered as large as the portraits of Chairman Mao Zedong from that time.

“My core was the concept shift — the time of God has passed, and here comes the time of man, upon whom our livelihoods really depend,” Luo explains.

More than 800 people voted for Father — 700 votes more than the second-place winner received.

“For the first time, a painting

featured the true color of laboring people, who used to be only painted in a bright way,” critic Shao Dazhen said.

“It was a breakthrough in social ideology.”

But that was more than three decades ago. Modern life has made Father’s time unimaginable. Still, Luo

portrays farmers.

More than 60 of his works were on exhibition at the 20 Years of Glory — Mountain Art Foundation Collection of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, nearly occupying the entire Hall No 1 of National Art Museum of China.

These works include his

representative pieces, such as Sky and Spring Silkworms, which are contemporaneous with Father. There are also 40 pieces from the Hometown Series created from the 1980s until the early 1990s.

A larger retrospective solo exhibition of his work will run at Taipei’s National Museum of

History from April 19 to June 3. It will show more than 100 artworks collected by Taiwan’s Mountain Art Foundation since 1978 and several recent oil paintings and sculptures Luo personally provided.

“This will be Luo’s most comprehensive retrospective,” Mountain Art Foundation’s President Lin Ming-che says.

Farmers are the subject of all the works.

“The subject is infused in my blood,” Luo says.

The 64-year-old lived in rural Chongqing’s Daba Mountains for 10 years before getting into the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in 1977, when universities reopened after the “cultural revolution”.

The urban native still recalls what he saw when he arrived in the rural areas for “reeducation”. One striking scene was when the farmers took in the arrivals from the urban areas one by one.

“The torches and oil lamps they were holding looked like sparks scattered across the Daba Mountains’ terraced fields,” Luo recalled.

“It was a silent, slow-motion fairy tale.”

Oil lamps and torches often appear in his works and have become something akin to his signature.

Luo also remembers the farmers’ pureness and diligence. The patriarch of the family that lodged him served as the inspiration for Father.

The work’s composition was inspired by the spontaneous underground exhibition Weed in 1980, which set a precedent for the Scar Art School.

“We were excited yet blind

and full of doubt about China’s future development,” Luo recalled.

At Weed, Luo and his schoolmates first expressed thoughts about the “cultural revolution”, by using vanguard subjects and strokes that orthodox institutes would not then recognize.

In one work, Luo portrayed a man painting nude in a room with sealed doors and windows.

Another showed an ambulance running into a bloodied pedestrian.

Luo’s former roommate Zhang Xiaogang, now a leading artist, described Luo as “the earliest avant-garde in our class”.

“We were in a period of social transformation,” Luo said.“The old ideology had been proven wrong. But a new one hadn’t yet formed.”

Father’s rendering is Super Realistic, but Luo called it an “exception”.

“My passion was Chinese ink painting,” Luo said.“Although I majored in oil painting, I was never the best at it.”

He said Father was meant to be his last stand for oil painting to prove to his classmates he could paint as realistically as they did.

“The technique of Father can be accomplished by many welltrained painters today,” he said.

“But what can’t be reproduced is the specific time background. I got lucky.”

He abandoned Realistic

paintings with political messages in the 1980s.

“They were not the real Luo Zhongli,” Luo said.

“But they were real parts of Luo Zhongli. I have achieved success and no longer bear the financial burdens I used to.

What matters is to return to the original passion of painting.”

He kept farmers as his subject matter but switched to more Figurative and Expressionist styles. His interest in calligraphy and line drawing also led to new ways of using lines in his works.

But many fans who adored Luo’s Realistic works were disappointed. However, Luo said his style has become more sophisticated.

“The changes in my painting style adhere to a continuous arc that can be understood by professionals,” Luo said.

“But the country’s incomplete art education unfortunately interrupts ordinary viewers’ appreciation and goes beyond the ability to judge whether something is like or unlike something.”

Luo has been his alma mater’s president for 14 years and believes this role has taken too much time from painting.

But it provides a higher-level understanding of art education.

Luo values students’ independent creativities as much as their mastery of basic techniques. This has remained the school’s tradition since he was a student there, he said.

He also strives to provide better creation environments, so works like Father will not again have to be produced in crowded and messy dorms.

In 2000, he bought a 6,000-square-meter former military tank warehouse and renovated it into art studios.

A 54,000-sq-m art zone has opened on the school’s new campus. Any artist who has dreams can apply for an independent studio.

As the dean of Chinese Academy of Contemporary Art, Luo plans to publish a thorough documentation of contemporary Chinese art in three or four years.

He hopes the country will have its own National Contemporary Art Museum by then.

Luo still carries pens and paper wherever he goes and constantly sketches. His studio’s light is the last to go off at night.

“Just like someone who is addicted to smoking or drinking, I am addicted to painting without purpose or pressure,” he said.

The artist visits the Daba Mountain area every year to seek inspiration.

His namesake art museum is under construction in Chongqing. When it’s done, Luo hopes to provide a comprehensive demonstration of his creations.

“Good or bad,” he said,“this is Luo Zhongli.”

Face to face with portrait paintings

Bald girls and camphor trees

The exhibition Face at Shanghai’s Minsheng Art Museum features portrait paintings by 75 contemporary Chinese artists.

The show, curator Guo Xiaoli says, presents an evolution of contemporary portrait painting.

Master artists from the 1980s, such as Luo Zhongli, 1990s’ representatives, such as Fang Lijun, Wang Guangyi and Liu Xiaodong, as well as a new generation of artists emerging after 2000 are all featured. Each presents signature styles and distinctive ideas.

Those attending will note that quite a few artists show off self-portraits and portraits of fellow artists. These works are particularly humorous, expressive and interesting.

One of the artists, Zhu Jia, gets a whole exhibition hall for his works. Zhu asked more than 40 fellow artists to create paintings based on the profile photograph of Mark Zuckerberg, creator of Facebook. Some have presented words with a touch of satire or mischief, and Zhu presents them anonymously. People familiar with the contemporary Chinese art scene may find it interesting to

The exhibition Bald Girls is all about women. The three artists —Xiao Lu, Li Xinmo and Lan Jiny — are all women and express feminism.

Xiao Lu’s most recent work (pictured below), The Flowers of Evil, features the root of an ancient camphor tree, which looks quite like a woman’s womb.

The photography of her previous performance art captures a black box she built, in which she talked to strangers who came in and asked them to write their opinions of love.

Li Xinmo paints bald figures using menstrual blood. One is pregnant, and another is horned.

Lan Jiny's works are lighter.

The half an orange that frequently appears indicates an imperceptible sense of humor.

Cki_Y

HENRY, WHO HELPED GET THE SINGER TO RECORD AGAIN AFTER A LONG BREAK.

MARINA CHAVEZ

Bonnie Raitt had been thinking about working with Grammy-winning producer Joe Henry for years.

And Henry had been kicking around the idea of reaching out to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member whose voice he’s adored forever.

It wasn’t until mutual friend Allen Toussaint made a cosmic connection that the two finally got together, launching Raitt on the journey to “Slipstream,” her first new album in seven years. During a recording session with Aaron Neville, Toussaint coyly suggested that Henry work with Raitt in the future. And when Toussaint speaks, Henry listens.

“He’s not like anybody else on this earth,” Henry says. “He’s like Yoda.” The producer called the performer shortly thereafter and, as Toussaint suspected, the chemistry between Raitt and Henry was dynamite.

“I was about a month away from thinking of calling and I got the contact from my office saying Joe wants to speak to you,” Raitt says. “And I

just thought it was so synchronistic. It was one of those really great times, a really great phone call.”

That conversation led to several more and a flurry of emails, and

eventually an invitation to come to Henry’s home studio in the Los Angeles area, where both live.

Henry’s invite came after a long period of relative inactivity for Raitt, 62. She’d lost her parents, her brother and a close friend over a five-year period that included the release of her last album, 2005’s “Souls Alike.”

So she took a break. After two years of little more than the occasional

show, she began missing the road.

But she didn’t think she was ready to put the energy into the recording and promotional work necessary to produce an album.

So she really didn’t have elaborate expectations when she joined Henry. They thought they’d spend a few days on a handful of songs, but after three days, they had nine. “It was like the pilot light was on, but he turned the gas up,” Raitt says.

They emerged from those sessions with four new cuts for the album — Henry compositions “God Only Knows” and “You Can’t Fail Me Now” (co-written with Loudon Wainwright III) and the Bob Dylan covers “Million Miles” and “Standing in the Doorway.” And Raitt emerged aflame with the need to pull her touring band together to cut more tracks.

“I just kept going,” Raitt says. “It was just like someone put the paddles on your heart and said, ‘Welcome back.’” CHRIS TALBOT T (AP)

8[^_dZ J^[ Je]W FWhjo 8eea H[l_[m Making-of movie books work best when they look back at those relatively few films that become ingrained in the culture. Nearly 35 years after college students first chanted “To-ga! To-ga!” “Animal House” is certainly that.

Its popularity was hardly a given when National Lampoon publisher Matty Simmons followed through on a notion to use the humor magazine as the foundation for a movie. The magazine’s sensibility — bitingly satirical and anti-authoritarian with a dose of bad taste — had not yet taken over mainstream comedy.

Still, as Simmons recalls in the cheery “Fat, Drunk, & Stupid: The Inside Story Behind the Making of ‘Animal House’” ($25.99, St. Martin’s Press), the National Lampoon’s penchant for going over the top had to be tamped down. It’s not surprising, then, that an idea to have beer barrels blast through the forehead of a JFK bust atop a homecoming float was deemed a bit too much. (AP) COMPILED BY FIONA ZUBLIN

Which leads her to the want ads in search of a job and place to live.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may want to follow another through territory that is not yet entirely familiar to you.

Protect yourself as best you can.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may be disappointed upon receiving a certain piece of news from a distant loved one, but you can recover quickly and focus on the future.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have a full day ahead of you; others are depending on you to be in the right place at the right time. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let anyone derail you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You may have to depend on a friend or loved one for a great deal today. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re building up a good head of steam, however.

Yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Solution

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) When someone needs help, he or she is likely to turn to you first. You can provide what is needed in a way that makes it more useful.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not the kind to give someone something today without also offering a life-lesson of some sort. He or she will be better off because of it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) A painful memory haunts you throughout the day, but not in its entirety. Just bits and pieces are likely to surface at odd times.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) An emotional situation can be looked upon in an intellectual way today â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but not everyone will agree with your assessment, that is certain.

Yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Solution

<EKH H79A JEJ7B Make a 2-7 letter word from the letters in each row.

Add points of each word using scoring directions at right. 7-letter words get a 50-point bonus. Blank tiles used as any letter have no point value. Scrabble is a trademark of Hasbro in the U.S. and Canada.

9ec_Yi

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Take care that you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so quick to judge yourself and your performance that you demoralize yourself. Look at all you CAN do!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Be courteous and accommodating today, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll enjoy certain unforeseen rewards in the days to come.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Even while working very hard today you can enjoy yourself fully. Others are impressed by your ability to laugh at almost anything.
