A new exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art spotlights the fraught relationship between French artists Édouard Manet and Edgar Degas, who often went back and forth between being friends, and rivals. We discuss the exhibit with curators Stephan Wolohojian, who worked on the paintings, and Ashley Dunn, who worked with drawings and works on paper. Manet/Degas is on view at the Met through January 7th.
