"Why We Need High Art" at Skirball

Thursday night Zocolo Public Square presented Camille Paglia at the Skirball Cultural Center. She talked about her new book, "Glittering Images a Journey Through Art from Egypt to Star Wars." Her book chronicles the evolution of art from Nefertiti's tomb to George Lucas's creations. She describes his last "Star Wars" movie as beautiful as an Italian opera.

Camille is on a crusade to bring art to children and families and to gaze at art to discover it's depth and message instead of the quick glances if video games.

She criticized the snide tone of intellectual liberals and said the "60's voice" is being stifled by phony liberals.
