Painting by Body Parts: A painting of five world leaders shown nude was pulled from a junior college faculty exhibit in Annapolis, Md., after complaints from the public. Artist Josef Schuetzenhoefer, a part-time professor, replaced the life-size painting with a landscape the day before the show opened last month. The 8-foot oil painting, ‘Capitalism Is Dead,” was meant as political commentary, he said. Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Polish President Lech Walesa, Polish Cardinal Jozef Glemp, German Chancellor Helmut Kohl and the late millionaire publisher Malcolm Forbes were shown standing on a cart with missing wheels.
