Napoleon Dynamite

The Getty is holding an interesting panel tomorrow night with Arianna Huffington, "Politics of Portraits." Here's Flavorpill's description of the event:
Lest you think political art and visual propaganda are the exclusive province of the modern era, the Getty Center presents a panel discussion to set you straight. Featuring the unlikely trio of local artist/activist/hero Robbie Conal, British royal court painter Richard Stone, and loose cannon/visionary pundit Arianna Huffington, the panel is an offshoot of the newly opened Jacques-Louis David: Empire to Exile — a comprehensive survey of the 19th century French painter's pro-Napoleon output. With much sparring about such ideas as fame, ambition, empire, hubris, and the enduring narcissism of the political arena, this promises to be an illuminating, hilarious, and ultimately important evening.
The exhibit is on display through April 24.
