	MARC: Fernando Botero: Cartoon Violence
		When I first heard that Fernando Botero, the Colombian artist famous for his stylized, whimsically pudgy figures, had created a series of paintings depicting the torture of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib, I expected the images to be grotesquely, even criminally, kitschy.
		Botero insists that he did not use photographs as source material for his Abu Ghraib paintings; all of his images, he claims, are derived from written testimony.
		Yet Botero, by tackling this imagery in a focused and extended series, has demonstrated not only that such things can be represented in art but also that a figurative, cartoonish idiom may be the most powerful means of representing modern atrocity.
