It turns out that even doctors can use art

Med students at Brigham an Women's Hospital in Boston are required to take a special art class at the MFA Boston. Apparently empathy and emotional understanding are really important to doctors.

I think this is a wonderful move, as long as the students aren't there to try to diagnose the art subjects.


Occupy Impressionism!

Here's a weird protest: this week people showed up outside the MFA Boston to protest the museum's collection of Renoirs. According to one of the picket signs, they're not iconoclasts, "Renoir just sucks at painting."

Apparently one of Renoir's descendants is responding on Instagram.
