Art is always political. On November 29, 1962, President Kennedy and Mrs. Kennedy spoke at a fundraising dinner for a National Cultural Center that would become known as “The Kennedy Center.” Here was a political leader who understood the importance of art. Also one who could quote Sophocles, Goethe, Dante, Aeschylus and Plato on prime time TV. Can you imagine that today? The entire speech is on YouTube and it is inspiring. @official_jfkleadership @jfkjrpage @jfklibraryfdn @youtube

@ana_kesselring Beautiful speech but So far from the realities of art market and its narrowing art to a few, creators and collectors.
