Michael and Us: Penn and Paintbrush

from Jacobin Radio

Libertarian magicians Penn & Teller turn their gaze to the art world in TIM'S VERMEER (2013), a documentary that attempts to prove that, with just the right set of tools and a lot of money, one wealthy entrepreneur can paint a Vermeer. We discuss the bleak, empty void that is Penn & Teller's view of art. See Luke at the Toronto International Festival of Authors on September 27 - https://festivalofauthors.ca/event/critical-conversation-new-working-class/ Check out Luke's book The Dead Center - https://www.orbooks.com/catalog/the-dead-center/ Michael and Us is a podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage.
