On today's Friday Morning Coffee, Caitlin Malcuit uses impressionism as a jumping off point to discuss what humanity loses when we're bound more to shareholders, capitalism, and war rather than equity; economic, environmental, housing, and food security; art and creativity; and joy.
Sebastian Smee, art critic at The Washington Post, then chats with Daniel Ford about his book Paris in Ruins: Love, War, and the Birth of Impressionism.
“I think art can be both political in its convictions and its hopes for society and at the same time kind of reparative or healing.”
