Host Dennis Leap and special guest Jeremiah Jacques discuss Charles Krauthammer’s unique essay “Annals of ‘Art.’” In October 1999, a culture war over a shocking and banal art show scheduled to be held at the Brooklyn Museum of Art exploded when Mayor Giuliani threatened to shut it down. Dennis and Jeremiah discuss censorship, the role of the artist, the importance of classic art, and the right of tax-supported museums to choose what they display.
