We are currently working on a new documentary with the working title Artistic Genius: When It Flourishes. The question I take up is why art flourishes so awesomely in some places and times — classical Athens, 
Renaissance Florence, the Dutch Golden Age, nineteenth-century Paris — but is stagnant in others.
Some of our production team worked with me on Nietzsche and the Nazis, but we have several new members — and quintuple the budget. I will look forward to introducing the team and updating on progress in future posts.
For now, here is a statue of Rembrandt in his birth city of Leiden, Netherlands. Off to Haarlem and Amsterdam later today.
That sounds like documentary I’d be delighted to watch! It would also be interesting to learn why art ceases to flourish to the same degree in those places after a while. I haven’t developed a hypothesis of my own but I think it could be an interesting topic to explore.
Enjoy the rest of your trip!
