• Pop-Art Radovan

Kenarov tours the haunts of Radovan Karadzic, the "Butcher of Bosnia." Karadzic--the Supreme Commander of the Bosnian Serb armed forces, President of the Serbian Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina, architect of the Siege of Sarajevo, and mastermind of the Srebrenica massacre--dodged justice by pretending to be a faith healer and relying on the residual vicious patriotism that fueled his rise.

And a newly opened exhibit that launched Saturday at Pepperdine University offers a behind-the-scenes look at the working process of Roy Lichtenstein, one of the premiere artists of the 20th century. It may be the last, since the works will be dispersed when the exhibit closes April 3.

• Zap! Pow! Home Decor Gets a Pop Art Punch

Pop Art was a major mover in late '60s and 70s decor. The space race inspired futuristic fdrnishings, and designers were influenced by a generation experimenting with free-spirited ideas. Think of Roy Lichtenstein's blown-up comic book art; 2001: A Space Odyssey; Andy Warhol's Campbell's soup can. The style is characterized by emphatic colors, strong graphics and bold furniture. CB2 has die Sol pendant lamp, a sleek white globe with a sunny yellow interior. Add Inmod's curvy Aarnio-style ball chair, Sputnik light fixture and a bigger-than-life wall graphic and you're well on your way to putting the word "mod" back in your vocabulary.

• Leger Influenced Pop-Art Generation

BASEL, Switzerland -- The "modest and little" Statue of Liberty, a gift from his country, did not impress Fernand Leger as he watched from the deck of a liner sailing into the inner harbor of New York Bay in 1931. But the artist was immediately fascinated by the sight of the Manhattan skyline, describing it in a French art magazine as "the most colossal spectacle in the world. Leger had arrived for his first of four stays in the United States, including five years of exile during World War II. This left a lasting impact on his work. But a show at the Beyeler Foundation museum also seeks to demonstrate the French painter's influence on American artists of the pop-art generation.

This year's contest covers September 10, 2004 to September 30, 2005, and entries must have been published in a "reputable," U.S.-based publication.
