The power of images
Opinion | I thought I didn’t care about Renaissance art. Then life happened to me – and I saw its power — Guardian US

The Cleveland Museum of Art will display the ancient bronze Draped Male Figure one last time before returning it to Turkey. Once thought to depict Marcus Aurelius, the statue was linked to looting from Bubon. On view through July 8 after a legal settlement.

Seventy years ago, the writer Lewis Mumford warned that urban highways would be a disaster:
“This is pyramid building with a vengeance, a tomb of concrete roads and ramps covering the dead corpse of a city.”
He was right. We just didn’t listen.
