The Skyscraper and the City brings together thirty years of the artist’s watercolor images of cities. LePan’s work goes against the tradition of presenting skyscrapers with a hard and precise verticality; the lines of these towers blur and bleed into each other, into the sky and the natural world, and often into the human life of the city. In their sense of movement, these watercolor images (of bridges and baseball stadiums as well as of skyscrapers) at times recall the work of Jo...

The Siege of Jerusalem (c. 1370-90 CE) is a difficult text. By twenty-first-century standards, it is gruesomely violent and offensive. It tells the story of the Roman destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE, an event viewed by its author (as by many in the Middle Ages) as divine retribution against Jews for the killing of Christ. It anachronistically turns first-century Roman emperors Titus and Vespasian into Christian converts who battle like medieval crusaders to ...
