So you’re stuck at home. There’s a pandemic. What to do?
Maybe you’re into art. Or maybe you’re not — but you always secretly thought you might be if you only had the chance.
Well, now you have the chance. But of course, there’s a problem. Almost all of the art museums have closed. It’s depressing. The incredible Degas show …? Shut. The Gerhard Richter show — maybe the last major one in his lifetime — at the Met Breuer? Closed for business. Just like everything else.
Don’t worry, friends! The museums will eventually reopen. But in the meantime: We are so lucky. There are options galore online…
From the soothing how-to-paint videos of Bob Ross — perfect if you’re feeling anxious — to William Kentridge’s 2012 Charles Eliot Norton Lectures at Harvard University — the most brilliant, challenging and entertaining series of lectures on art ever delivered — there’s something to suit every mood, every taste, every flavor of idleness.
