Boston Globe art critic Sebastian Smee and Paul Tucker, curator of the Monet exhibitions at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts discuss the ways that looking at a work of art can open it up to reveal a rich web of information about the work itself, its maker and the society in which it was created. How does a work of art become meaningful for the beholder? Where can that appreciation lead the ordinary person?
