About the Program

Catherine Jones' oil painting series Intifada are portraits of Palestinian children in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Jones found these images a year ago in the supermarket tabloid National Inquirer and was struck by their beauty and power. They show the masks the young Palestinian boys wear in their rock-throwing struggle with the modern Israeli army. These images are surely sensationalistic, if only by virtue of their source but they are also aesthetically beautiful. The timeliness of these images in light of the current war in the Middle East is considerable.
