turer FieldTurf USA agreed to change products
to reduce lead to safe amounts.
The cases were filed in 2008 after testing by

Reflections
By Ari Brenner

C
onsidering all the goodbyes that I’ve
said over the past few months, you’d
think that I would have become
more adept at them by this point. However,
as with every farewell that preceded it, my
last column for the Daily Journal has come
too soon, and I’m not
quite sure how to
approach it.
After some thought,
I’ve realized that I am
having trouble getting in
the proper mindset. The
end … already?
As with many of the
other “lasts” that have
taken place, I’m choosing
to view it as a chance to look back on the
experience and what it’s meant to me.
Every two weeks, when I set about writing
my column, the moment I sat down and set
hands to keyboard marked a break from
everything else that was going on — a
chance to step out of everyday life, choose a
topic that mattered to me and express myself.
Whether my writing had a personal, local or
international focus, whether the subject was
lighthearted or serious, it represented the
ability to engage fully with a topic and speak
my piece about it.
Through writing this column, I’ve become
more connected to the goings-on in the world

journalist is to forge a deeper identification

Travel brief
MoMA show examines Matisse’s craft
NEW YORK — Imagine you had X-ray vision and could peer
beneath the layers of paint on a canvas to discover the painstak-
ing process of creating a masterpiece.
That’s essentially what curators have done in an exhibition on
Henri Matisse that opens Sunday at the Museum of Modern Art
after making its debut last March at The Art Institute of
Chicago.
The show explores the years 1913-1917, a pivotal period in
Matisse’s artistic development when he temporarily abandoned
his interest in decorative patterning and brilliant color for dark-
er, more abstract compositions.
The curators propose that these geometrically composed
paintings, dominated by blacks and grays, were at least partly a
response to World War I, which erupted in Europe in 1914, a
year after Matisse returned to Paris from Morocco.
The works also represent his attempt to absorb and respond to
the challenge of cubism, then the dominant trend in the avant-
garde art world, with its radical reinvention of form and space.
The inescapable message of this dazzling exhibition is that
making great art is hard work, as is the elaborate process of put-
ting together a great art show.

ers out there.

The pacing is good. Great, even. There are plenty of
weapons and time-control powers, and the game gives them to
you frequently enough that it always feels like there’s some
new toy to play with. Big gunfights are intermingled with can-
you-solve-the-puzzle-you’ve-already-solved-10-times

Reflections
By Ari Brenner

C
onsidering all the goodbyes that I’ve
said over the past few months, you’d
think that I would have become
more adept at them by this point. However,
as with every farewell that preceded it, my
last column for the Daily Journal has come
too soon, and I’m not
quite sure how to
approach it.
After some thought,
I’ve realized that I am
having trouble getting in
the proper mindset. The
end … already?
As with many of the
other “lasts” that have
taken place, I’m choosing
to view it as a chance to look back on the
experience and what it’s meant to me.
Every two weeks, when I set about writing
my column, the moment I sat down and set
hands to keyboard marked a break from
everything else that was going on — a
chance to step out of everyday life, choose a
topic that mattered to me and express myself.
Whether my writing had a personal, local or
international focus, whether the subject was
lighthearted or serious, it represented the
ability to engage fully with a topic and speak
my piece about it.
Through writing this column, I’ve become
more connected to the goings-on in the world

Travel brief
MoMA show examines Matisse’s craft
NEW YORK — Imagine you had X-ray vision and could peer
beneath the layers of paint on a canvas to discover the painstak-
ing process of creating a masterpiece.
That’s essentially what curators have done in an exhibition on
Henri Matisse that opens Sunday at the Museum of Modern Art
after making its debut last March at The Art Institute of
Chicago.
The show explores the years 1913-1917, a pivotal period in
Matisse’s artistic development when he temporarily abandoned
his interest in decorative patterning and brilliant color for dark-
er, more abstract compositions.
The curators propose that these geometrically composed
paintings, dominated by blacks and grays, were at least partly a
response to World War I, which erupted in Europe in 1914, a
year after Matisse returned to Paris from Morocco.
The works also represent his attempt to absorb and respond to
the challenge of cubism, then the dominant trend in the avant-
garde art world, with its radical reinvention of form and space.
The inescapable message of this dazzling exhibition is that
making great art is hard work, as is the elaborate process of put-
ting together a great art show.

ers out there.

The pacing is good. Great, even. There are plenty of
weapons and time-control powers, and the game gives them to
you frequently enough that it always feels like there’s some
new toy to play with. Big gunfights are intermingled with can-
you-solve-the-puzzle-you’ve-already-solved-10-times
sequences, and there were a few good old-fashioned boss bat-
