After all, \\u201cart,\\u201d she often quotes, \\u201cis what makes life more interesting than art.\\u201d Art is the artists, the world they inhabit, their shared cultural references, their shared understanding of the art world and art history. Their human experiences rendered in paint. The stuff they leave behind.\\n\\nMusic Used:\\nThe Blue Dot Sessions, \\u201cLacquer Groove,\\u201d \\u201cHardwood Lullaby\\u201d\\n\\nEpisode Webpage:\\nhttps://www.thelonelypalette.com/interview/2023/12/20/lucy-lippard-art-writer'
