Learning to Look

CF Learning to Look

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?
