National Public Radio reporter and host Susan Stamberg speaks on the power of great art to reach our psyches as nothing else can. Beyond preserving great art, and showcasing creations from times gone by, museums serve as places for contemplation, education, and solace in times of crisis and confusion. In her talk, Ms. Stamberg will explore the work of two artists who responded to the encroachments of modern life at very different periods—the nineteenth-century French painter Gustave Caillebotte and twentieth-century American painter Edward Hopper.
