    Where Art and Politics Meet

    William Shakespeare avoided the most pressing political question of his time (the Protestant Catholic divide in England) in order to write great plays about the human spirit. Goya used his paintings to comment on the destruction Napoleon wrought in Europe. Anna Deavere Smith, Simon Schama, and Adam Gopnik consider the role of politics in art. Also analysis of last night’s debate and “30 issues”: guns.
