Paintings, Politics, and the Power of Memory (Richard Brookhiser & Dony MacManus) | Ep. 10
What does art remember that politics forgets? In this episode of The Walkup, host Sean O’Hare is joined by Richard Brookhiser, historian and senior editor at National Review, and Dony MacManus, sculptor, painter, and founder of the Sacred Art School in Florence.
Together, they explore the symbolic force of historic paintings, the shifting meaning of revolutions, and whether the artist or the statesman has the greater legacy. The conversation is a spirited meditation on tradition, truth, and what it means to form a nation—and a soul.
