This weekend, on October 25, CBS News Sunday Morning, with Charles Osgood, will have a special edition focusing on the problem of obesity in America. That's not the kind of news that ordinarily makes it into an art blog, but part of the show will be a segment on how the human body has been represented in art from prehistory to the present. And tucked among the talking heads will be my head, talking, too.
I will not be offering diet tips from the lady pictured above.
