Re-release | Luc Tuymans and Timothy Snyder

We revisit an episode from Season 5, a conversation between artist Luc Tuymans and the eminent Yale Historian Timothy Snyder. The two discuss history, truth, and lies, and art’s singular ability to live between them all. Timothy Snyder is the author of the books On Tyranny and The Road to Unfreedom, among others, and Luc Tuymans is an artist who has been interrogating the power of images for decades. Tuymans is also the subject of a major solo retrospective, called The Past, on view at the UCCA Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing through February 16, 2025.
